Visual Studio Team Services release issue - deployment

Question

When I try to create a release within Visual Studio, I run into this error
azure deployment
Given that I have full permissions on my Azure account and I have no issues logging into my azure session
I think this is a bug within VSTS, the questions are, how to tweak this situation? can I use the Release management tool for visual studio 2013 temporary until I find out how to do a release
Rem: I tried the old method which uses powershell to get info about principal id, tenant id and so on but this method needs that my app has to be backed by AAD which is not the case for our situation and second this method is supposed deprecated for now
Any help will be highly appreciated
Thank you

Answer 1

It is working fine for me. (Success configuring Azure service connection by clicking Authorize button).
You can clear Internet browser cache, then Start InPrivate Browsing, you can try it in other machine.

You don’t need to configure app that backed by ADD manually, just need to run this PowerShell script directly (refer to this article)
