Deploying Multiple Provider Hosted Apps In A Single Azure Web Site

There are three kinds of SharePoint Add-ins: SharePoint-hosted, Provider-hosted and SharePoint Framework. To decide about a better way to develop your scenario, you have to understand what each type of SharePoint Add-ins has in common/support.

In this article, we are going to see how we can deploy more than one provider-hosted app in a single Azure web application.

• Create an Azure site.
• Create required App folders.
• Go to Azure web site.
• Click on the Configure link in the top navigation for the web site.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page and enter the values for your new virtual paths, as shown below.
  
  
  

Note
Make sure you check the application checkbox.

• Register your apps using the appregnew.aspx page, as shown below.

Note
Here, I am adding my virtual directory subfolder name (App1 and App2) after the Azure website URL.

• Your app manifest file should look like this.

Note
Here, I am adding my virtual directory subfolder names (App1 and App2) after ~remoteAppUrl. If you don’t have Remote Event Receiver in your app, you do not need to configure InstalledEventEndpoint and UninstallingEventEndpoint.

• Publishing configuration (App Web Project) should be something like this.

Note
Here, I am adding my virtual directory subfolder names (App1 and App2) after site name.

• Finally, the app package configuration should be like this.
