Issue: Cannot create WebApp from Azure portal, as it returns “the app <appName>" is not available "

WebApp name checker

Mitigation:
Ensure that Microsoft.Web RP is registered before trying to create (as outlined in this doc) and then re-try.

Alternative methods:

Create WebApp via PowerShell New-AzWebApp or Azure CLI az webapp create

We apologies for the inconvenience this issue has caused.

Our product team is actively working on it, as soon as we have more information, we will share it here.

    I too am seeing this issue.

    My scenario is slightly different.

    I have deleted Web App from one Azure Directory and now can't create one with the same name in a second Azure Directory

    I can create and destroy a the Web App in the original directory as many times as I wish without issues.
