VS2015 Crashes when I try to Publish - azure

So, I am developing a Web Service, and at some point, my Visual Studio 2015 started to crash every time i right click project -> Publish. When I publish a project it gets deployed to Azure.
I use git, so I undid all the changes to my last successful project publish, and yes, I did publish after that build before.
I tried to remove/re-install Visual Studio, and nothing worked.
Last thing I did was reset Windows 10 to factory settings and install everything again. This still does not do anything.
Last thing I could do is Wipe my computer completely and install everything again, but I don't really want to resort to that!
I am desperate with this! I have resharper 9.2 installed and Xamarin.
Thank you,

The closest thing I've found to solving it is to right-click the project and select 'Clean' before then selecting 'Publish'.

Apparently I fixed this by:
right clicking project-> properties -> Package/Publish SQL -> Import from Web.config
It seems that somehow the project lost some properties regarding these settings, even though they were in the web.config.

I faced same issue with VS 2015 Community Edition while publish.
Just installed latest Azure SDK for .Net (VS 2015) - 2.8.1(Or latest one) and it solved the problem.

hit this problem myself, i found that deleting the publish profiles worked.
Expand the properties container under the project that keeps crashing and delete PublishProfiles.
warning: you will have to recreate the publish profiles you have just
deleted.

Deleting the *.suo file in v14 folder helped in my case.
Cleaning the solution occasionally worked, but 90% of time the VS crashed anyways.

In my case I updated Azure SDK first and then opened solution then right-click the project and select 'Clean'. Then clicked on publish and now i imported the publish profile or created custom profiles, no issue.

I have been having this issue as well. What worked for me was logging into Azure through Visual Studio, making sure I was connected in the Server Explorer, and then trying to publish afterwards.

For those who still couldn't make it work, Make sure you publish in "Release" mode. For me I was trying to publish in Debug mode which hangs the publish window.

Visual Studio publish to azure existing apps error

Getting this error when I select a "publish target" in VS 2015 update 3. Had a look for a while online but didn't see anything, so any help would be appreciated if you could point me in the right direction.
An error has occurred while processing the request: Method 'StopRemoteProfiler' in type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.AzureWebSite' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Impl, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' does not have implementation
I updated to the to Azure sdk 2.9.6 last night because of a different issue but related where there was no error, but no existing apps were listed.
I can confirm that this works on my work computer and I have existing apps on Azure, but not working on my home computer.
I am a bit loath to uninstall and reinstall VS, so any help would be appreciated. Of course, if the only solution is to reset, then so be it.
Thanks,
Jarrod
I faced the same problem. This is what worked for me.
I updated the "Microsoft .NET Core 1.0.1 - VS 2015 Tooling Preview 2" by going to Menu -> Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Updates -> Visual Studio Gallery. It shows all the available updates for your version of studio. Select the component to update. It should download a file named "DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.0.3.exe" or something similar. When you run this file, if you have the software already installed then select the repair option. It will ask you to close any running instances of Visual Studio, also make sure you have internet connection.
Also if you are using Web Deploy to publish your app make sure you have Microsoft Web Deploy v3 or higher installed or you will get error. You can do it using Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
Hope it helps.

Android Studio is installing old apk on device

I am developing an Android app using Android Studio (0.89 Build #AI-135.1404660, Built on Sept 3,2014) using both emulator and Nexus 4 device.
I had the same issue with a version prior to that.
The problem is that after I changed my code and resource files, I still get the old apk installed on the device or emulator.
What do I need to do to get it to run current code? Is it a building config?
Is it a known issue with Android Studio?
Or with a Nexus 4 device?
This is the second time it has happened, and I resolved it(then) after trying one of the steps below. They have not worked for me again.
Here is what I've tried
Build > Clean Project > Restart Android Studio > Run
Build > Rebuild Project > Run
Step 1 plus Uninstalling of apk on device
Step 2 plus Unistalling of apk on device
Adding erroneous resource entry then running.
I have read the following:
Android apk install: How to clear files from old version?
adb - How to reinstall an app, without retaining the data?
Device still has the old apk
Android build doesn't update code base or resources for target .apk on device
None has worked so far.
I had the same problem. After trying numerous methods that didn't work, I realized that I had accidentally changed an option in my "Run Configuration". Here's exactly what I did to fix the issue.
Run --> Edit Configurations
With your configuration selected on the left panel (mine says "app"), in the General tab on the right panel, there is a section called "Before launch". This section should have an option added called "Gradle-aware Make", but I had accidentally removed it.
I re-added it by pressing the "+", then clicking OK in the popup (leave the input box in the popup blank).
Click apply.
This fixed the problem immediately. Hope this helps someone!
Run / Debug Configurations / Miscellaneous TAB
[] Uncheck: Skip installation if APK has not changed
Android Studio doesn't always detect small changes in code.
The behaviour is erratic. I solved it by reviewing my code.It turned out that there was a resource file that was invalid. Try reverting back to the last working version of your code before the current changes... Probably a known issue that will be/was resolved out of Beta
Google thinks it is a feature, not a bug
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=156263
Their proposed solution is to copy the apk(s) instead of manipulating the filename, as in e.g.
Copying APK file in Android Gradle project
I've spent way too many hours to keep this to myself. The way I fixed it was that I noticed some hours later that I was using different layout version in res/ .... I have actually two versions of layout (layout-v26) and (layout). All this time I was modifying the other one and uploading different one. Maybe its just a newbie mistake but I hope somebody will find it useful.
The reason why there are 2 version was because of " autofillHints="" -> quickfix -> create new version of layout "

I am using android studio for building flutter app, I was facing the same issue untill I did the following:
From Android Studio, go to Tools-Flutter-FlutterClean
It resolved my problem as of now.
Check Your Layout Files.
I ran into the same problem and I realized, it gives some problem if you have same layout in multiple orientations(portrait and landscape). If one is changed other remains unchanged and then it creates a conflict. So android studio installs the one with the previous layout
PS: This was happening in my case.
The problem occurred on my Android 11 devices. I guess ART ran old code dex2oated.
Solution:
Run / Debug Configurations - General - Always install with package manager (disable deploy optimization on Android 11 and later), and check the option.
I was also facing this issue and get solution by deleting build folder manually because some time ide cannot be able to delete this. So go to the app folder and find build folder delete this and after clean and build project and run again.
projectname->app->build
You should select "Deploy default APK" option in Run/Debug Configurations. After that Android Studio will upload and install new apk to your emulator/device when you run application.
In android studio. at right side. see gradle option. click it. and then press circular arrows button shown in red square.
Same problem, none of the solutions mentioned here had any effect. I had to disable the "Allow parallel run" in "Menu > Run > Edit configurations...".
You can read more about this option here: How to run the same project multiple times in IntelliJ IDEA?
The solution to this issue is actually very simple.
Android studio is actually not detecting some small changes that you have made to the application. That is why it is installing the previous builds.
The solution is easy -> Remove the previous builds.
In the right side, go to gradle tab.
Expand Tasks. Find "clean" or "cleanCache" task or any task that starts with "clean". Double click to run that task.
Expand "app". and do the same.
Then File> Invalidate cache and restart.
Enjoy!! Your problem is solved...
My devices also ran old states - dont know from where in my git it has taken these.
I created a new configuration (default is "app") and it worked.

Publishing projects without VS Publish

Our team has been having quite a lot of trouble with Visual Studio's publish feature. We use TFS and are all running VS 2012 ultimate. It works fine when only one person is involved in a project, but when we get many people inside one project, the publish profiles get off and Visual Studio reports a successful publish even when all files haven't been copied up. I've read all the SO questions about why this happens and I understand that TFS adds the publish profiles to the source control automatically. If we create a new publish profile and republish, everything works. But this is not sustainable. I can't prevent VS from automatically adding the publish profiles to TFS (if we could, I think this would solve the problem) so I'm now looking for better ways to publish an application to a web server. Is there a better tool out there to publish web applications or do I need to write my own VS extension?
Per this question (https://stackoverflow.com/a/12393154)
The temporary answer seems to be to change your settings from release to debug, save, then switch it back. This causes the pubxml.user file to be rebuilt, which is actually the problem.

Wrong build being deployed on Android device using Visual Studio 2012 Xamarin.Android

I am using Visual Studio 2012 and Xamarin.Android Beta release to develop an Android application. When I try to deploy the android application for debugging purposes onto an Android device, it deploys the previously built application on the device and not the recent changes I made and deployed (i.e No refresh of build). However, if I use Xamarin Studio to do the same, it deploys the correct build everytime (i.e refreshes the build with new code changes).
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance!
I had a similar issue: With Visual Studio 2019 the debug version of my driver was deployed while building the release version.
The cause of my problem was, that in the Properties -> Driver Install -> Package Files I had an absolute path pointing to the debug version of my driver in the column File. This setting is valid for all configurations (not separated for debug/release), and when entering macros, they are immediately expanded to absolute paths.
I fixed this by editing the .vcxproj file with my favourite editor and changed the path back to $(TargetPath).
I had the same problem. My solution was to add "deploy" to the build configuration:
BUILD => Configuration Manager... => (select "Debug" from left-hand combo-box) => (tick "Deploy" in grid)
Courtesy of this xamarin forum post.
I have no idea why it does this, I had this issue before. I also noticed that the device log was somewhat behind (ie, at 3.30pm, the last record on the device log was 11.00am).
Uninstalling the app from the device and re-deploying it seems to correct it.
Note: I had this issue in VS, didn't check with XS.
I would look at the difference in your deployment settings in VS and XS (I think it may have something to do with the Fast Deployment option).
Similar question (though for iOS Simulator) here.
I had a similar problem (though on an Android emulator).
What didn't work for me:
restarting the computer
restarting Visual Studio
deleting bin / obj folders
going into Configuration Manager (Debug / Release / Configuration Manager) and ticking everything there - everything was ticked
changing the version of the app in the manifest
What worked for me?
Uninstalling the app from the emulator and then running Debug again.
It was an Android emulator, so I uninstalled by clicking on the app icon and holidng for long, and then dragging it to "Uninstall App". On an iOS simulator it should be similar.

Project dependencies not loading in Visual Studio 2012

I'm not sure if this is a add-on/extension issue but I'm having a heck of a time with Visual Studio 2012 on two computers. I believe it is DevExpress CodeRush causing the problems as it seems to work fine when I uninstall it but I'm not 100% sure.
I startup VS 2012, answer YES to the Get Latest from TFS 2012 and the solution right-click the solution node in the Solution Explorer and choose Project Dependencies... - it shows nothing checked. Of course the build will fail. I close and restart VS 2012 and then it shows. I typically do this through the course of the DevExpress option to clear the solution cache which causes the solution to reload.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may cause the project dependencies to get lost yet after a restart they are fine again? Is there something I need to delete and rebuild to try and resolve this?
The fix (so it seems) is to not check the option in VS source control settings to do a Get Latest when opening the solution. It seems to prevent the solution from initializing properly. I will consider reporting this to Microsoft Connect.
As I know CodeRush does not change anything in the Project Dependencies dialog. However you can write to DevExpress Support Center (http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center) for a more detailed answer and research.
I also recommend you include a project and a video that illustrates the problem (if possible).
I was facing same issue. However got fixed after deleting .suo file from solution folder
