Web App Not Available for Azure DevOps Deployment

I've created a number of Azure resources including a Web App. But when I attempt to deploy from Azure DevOps, the App Name is not available in the dropdown list.

I have successfully Authenticated my Azure Subscription as a Service Connection and I'm the owner with full access to all resources. I've even tried creating a dedicated Azure Resource Manager connection mapped to the Resource Group where my Web App resides.

Attempting to manually enter the Web App name results in the following error message: Resource '...' doesn't exist. Resource should exist before deployment.

Several threads suggest just waiting. It's been eight hours. Seems goofy.

What's the deal here? Does my Web App need to be at a minimum tier before it's available to deploy from Azure DevOps? I can't find any documentation on that. This seems like it should work.

Thanks to all who have crossed this bridge who can shed some light for me.

    Follow up

    At some point over the weekend, the dropdown list with my Web App was populated. I'm no longer getting the error "Resource x doesn't exist...".

    @Microsoft, you should really consider reducing the lag time here and updating the error messaging to inform users with newly created resources.
