System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Exception: Build failed. Check the Output window for more details. --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.ThrowIfExceptional(Boolean includeTaskCanceledExceptions) at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Wait(Int32 millisecondsTimeout, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Microsoft.WebTools.Publish.PublishService.VsWebProjectPublish.<>c__DisplayClass43_0.b__3() at System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1.InnerInvoke() at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Execute()

Hi,

You have a lot of solutions.

You can:

• Use FTP: Go on azure, app service, select your app service and click on "deployment center". You can select FTP or other services.

• Use azure DevOps with pipelines/ release management to deploy on your app service (configuration between azure devops and app service are really easy)
• Use Visual Studio, but prefer web deploy method !
