@jsandersrocks, Thanks for the question! Yes, we are taking a look into this and will get back to you soon.

Hello, i can't create a new mobile app in azure

[LaloCo]

Same here, the option for Mobile Apps is gone. Is the service deprecated? Docs seem to have been updated only a month ago.

[AjayKumar-MSFT]

@XamarinTounsi, and @LaloCo, There have been some changes recently with how we present the App Services family in the Azure Portal. A Mobile App was a Web App with Easy Tables and Easy APIs added.

To simplify things, we have merged the API and Mobile Apps into the WebApp product. You should be able to search for ‘Web App’ and create that. As highlighted in the screenshot below, web apps have the Mobile App features that you’ll need to complete the doc.

Please let us know if you have any further issues. We're in the process of updating this in the document soon, but there is no ETA as of yet.

@jsandersrocks, Thanks again for raising this question.

[LaloCo]

@AjayKumar-MSFT thanks for the quick response. Is there some additional step that we need to perform to enable Mobile? I just created a Web App and there is no Mobile section, as you can see in the screenshot below:

[jsandersrocks]

Easy Tables is the Node.js version only. The ASP.Net version is not available in the current API and is what needs to be fixed. This was previously available through the quickstart

[LaloCo]

🤔 Still, I seem to be missing something here. I did select the Node.js version:

[jsandersrocks]

Cool. Still need to fix the ASP.Net experience. EasyTables == Node.js

[LaloCo]

Sorry, nevermind again, still same issue, I deleted the comment. I was comparing some settings with a previous Mobile App and got confused there for a sec.

My mobile app does have some Application Settings there by default, the Web App does not, but have no idea where they come from or if they have anything to do with this.

[XamarinTounsi]

Problem here !

[AjayKumar-MSFT]

Sorry for the inconvenience. We are aware of this issue and we will update the getting started instructions very soon.

[AjayKumar-MSFT]

@XamarinTounsi, On which region have you hosted your Mobile App? It’s working fine on my existing Mobile App(s), if you haven’t tried this already so and feasible, kindly restart the app /re-login to the Portal and let us know.

Further documentation updates were published today - basically you create an App Service Web App and use that for the back-end.

[AjayKumar-MSFT]

Thank you, @conceptdev. Since the document is now updated, we will proceed to close this issue.

[LaloCo]

After following the steps in the updated documentation, I still don’t see the Mobile section when creating the Web App. Even after adding the application setting and connection string.

[conceptdev]

I just created a new App Service Web App from scratch, and after waiting for the service to be created, the Mobile section (with Easy tables and Easy APIs) appear - see below. I realize that isn't much help to you in resolving the issue, but at least you can be sure the feature does exist. If you continue to have issues, consider the Help + support feature in the Azure portal.

[LaloCo]

Alright, I see it now but had to create the Web App with ASP.NET instead of Node. Contrary to what the docs say, Node doesn't seem to work.

[conceptdev]

Thanks for the followup info.
