I have an Office 365 account and I am trying to create a SharePoint App via Visual Studio 2013 Here are the steps:

1. Open VS 2013 and select Office/SharePoint > App for SharePoint (type the name) then click OK

2. I type in URL of the site (of course https://) and Select SharePoint-Hostedoption, then click Finish

3. I get the Office 365 authentication dialog box.

I type in the username and password and it opens the SharePoint in the same rectangular dialog box and it stays there and nothing happens:

If I click the close icon on the Connect to SharePoint dialog box that still shows my SharePoint online site, I get the following error: enter image description here

If I click on OK I get the Connect to SharePoint dialog box again

Its not a problem to connect or not. First write code and deploy it then in the bin/app.publish folder you the .app output. Then add this app file to app management location in office 365 or any server. It is the good thing and its works fine and also at the time of adding app into app management pool always give version number.
