Nameserver / Static Web App / Cannot find IP Address to set A record for root domain

Hi. I would like to connect a root domain mydomain.de to my Azure Static Web App setting an A record. To set the A record I need the IP address of my webapp.

However, I cannot find the ip address related to my static webapp in the WebApp properties.

I tried the following PowerShell Script: 

az webapp show --resource-group myRGgroup --name myStaticWebApp --query possibleOutboundIpAddresses --output tsv

But I get:

WebApp'myStaticWebApp', is not found on RG 'myRGgroup'.

Any ideas? THX!

    Hello @Dominik Hattrup

    Unfortunately you cannot use DNS A record to create custom domain for Static Web App.
    Possible DNS records to set up a custom domain are TXT, CNAME, ALIAS

    Hi @Andriy Bilous and thx for the quick reply! Unfortunately my domain provider does not support an ALIAS record that maps my root domain to the auto-generated URL of your static web app.

    What would be the best practice in this case?
