I had a Static web app with the custom domains of www.alican.se and alican.se configured. It worked as intended, and then I decided to create a new Static Web App and move my custom domains to it. I removed all references to my custom domain from my old App and then deleted it. I also cleared out all information from my DNS provider.
I then made my new Static Web App, configured my www domain without an issue and I can access the page without any problems. However, I am unable to configure my domain alican.se without the www. I get the following error: domainName is invalid. The domain name given was not found.
I know it takes couple of hours, even days for DNS changes to take effect. But this problem has persisted for almost a week. Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Hello @Alican Bircan

@risolis That advice provided did not help. As I said, I've removed my old Static Web App and therefore have no reference to that custom domain anywhere else.
I tried creating an empty Static Web App resource and as a test see if I'm able to add my desired custom resource to that one. I was able to, so now I'm wondering why I'm unable to add the domain to my original Static Web App resource?
Hello @Alican Bircan
Many thanks for your feedback.
I wonder if this might be the issue on your case scenario as stated down below:

@Alican Bircan Thank you for reaching here!
If I have understood right you have deleted your old static webapp and now trying to bind the domain to the new static webapp.
Please double check on your domain registrar and ensure the previous records are updated/cleared (that of old static webapp).
Also you may want to know that some domain registrars (like Google and GoDaddy) don't allow you to point the apex domain to an existing URL. If your registrar doesn't support ALIAS or ANAME records, or doesn't allow CNAME flattening, consider the following options:
To further elaborate on this-
ALIAS DNS record. If your registrar doesn't support ALIAS records, but does support ANAME records or CNAME flattening, see their documentation for configuration settings.ALIAS DNS record.A record, your traffic is directed to a single Static Web Apps host, and your app no longer benefit from the performance improvements provided by global distribution.
Also ensure that In the Enter domain tab, when entering your apex domain name. [For instance, if your domain name is example.com, enter example.com into this box (without any subdomains).] and in further step, Validate + Configure tab, entering the domain name value should match the domain name you entered in the previous step. Please let us know if further query or issue remains.
@Alican Bircan Just checking if you have chance to see recent response.
Please let us know if further query or issue remains.
I resorted to create a new Azure Static Web App and move my custom domains to it, as nothing else really solved my issue.
