Hi,

I know that you can not publish a solution with two projects to the same web app.

But what is the general idea? By creating a second class library project and reference this from the main app project I separate the functions in my solution. But how is this supposed to be “exported” to a published app?

With a unit test class as part of a solution I can understand that this should not be published to a web app but the library is something the main app uses.

    @Daniel , Adding to AgaveJoe, If the library is something the main app uses it likely is already a reference in the WebApp project and gets copied with the WebApp. Publishing the WebApp only in this case should be sufficient for your scenario. If for some reason the library is not referenced by the WeApp and you are loading some other way, could you share more details on how/why you might be doing that?

    See these Azure App Service docs for more info:

    Deployment vs runtime issues

    P.S. I'd added additional tags to receive insights from the targeted SMEs/community.
