When creating Azure web app, I failed with message "The app name is not available"

Kim Daan 31

I always show that app name is not available, when creating Azure Web App
So I tried randomly app name like below, but all failed.

sfjslkf-sfkjslfk-sfkasldfjhiasdl
sfdasdfgbsbxdgvb
sgadsvlgkwaevopwiemno
sgkswnjgl-wf9ksldfnjslk-sfkjslfs
sadfadslkvjh290fiusjhodg
sgsdklvjw0ovinwodv
dbjsobikwmspvwlkmvp

Anyone can make these app name?

Hi

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

I just tried creating one, I had no issues in that process. Tried logging out and opening the portal in new window again.

We apologies for the inconvenience with this issue. Much appreciate your patience!

I found a fix until they solve the problem.
Visual Studio - project name -> Publish
You can go through the necessary steps. I managed to publish our project this way and it is visible on the website too.

For anyone having the issue, the support was ultra effective and helped me create the webapp. As a workaround, you can use Azure CLI or Powershell in your Azure Portal and it will work.
