@Pascal Wüthrich Thanks for reply! could you check contributor role-

The "Contributor" role won't give you access to the data in App Configuration. You need to grant yourself the App Configuration Data Owner role. More details can be found in the document below:

Answer 2

@Pascal Wüthrich Thanks for reaching here! If I understood you are facing issue-

Could not connetct to the remote computer. On the remote computer make sure that

1. Web Deploy is installed and
2. that the required process Web Management Service is started

You may follow below steps-

1. Go to the app service on the Azure portal.
2. Go to configuration.
3. Add an app setting with name WEBSITE_WEBDEPLOY_USE_SCM and value false.
4. Save changes.
5. Download a new publish profile.

You should be able to do publish from Visual Studio now.

You may also try Resetting your "publish profile". You can reset it from the Azure Portal at your web app. 

Let us know.
