App Service Remote Debugging VS2015 Not Supported

Question

I tried to attach a remote debugger to my development slot, but got the following error:

I then proceeded to open General Settings under Configuration on the slot, and switched Remote Debugging On and chose 2015 for my visual studio version.

After saving, I got this notification:

I haven't had issues in the past. 2015 is clearly listed under the available options. Why can't I use 2015 to debug my app service?

PS: I couldn't find a tag for app-service, please load one.

Hi MichelleMcCabe-5663,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! Thanks for posting this question.

If your Web App uses an IP based SSL certificate, get the IP address from your KUDU console and use that IP address for the *.azurewebsites.net hostname you are remote debugging by adding the IP HOSTNAME combination to the HOSTS file.

Please see this blog post for more information.

Hope that helps!

Thanks,

Grace
