Provider-hosted apps - options to create

Just for self learning purpose, I want to create few provider-hosted apps, but I don't have any subscription for windows azure service.
I have only trial subscription of office 365.
My question is can I create provider hosted apps without any subscription for azure service (with the help of office 365 trial)?
Is there any free trial available to develop this, which doesn't need any credit card?
Since this is very important for me can any one experienced same situation reply to this question?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get current logged in user in the Provider hosted app.
Something needs to clarify:
1. Does the two server exist in the same domain ?
2. Does the both server use the same user credential ?
3. Which error did it throw, would you please share it ?
In the Client Object Model, I suggest you can Token Helper to get the ClientContext in Provider hosted app.
Here are some detailed code demos for your reference:

Have you set up a wildcard DNS entry for the spapps.com domain?
Also if you're trying to connect from the server you might be hitting loop back check issues.

Creating High trust provider hosted app in SharePoint online

Hi,
I need to create high trust provider hosted app for SharePoint Online. provider hosted would be not going to host in Azure but it will be some where else.
some kindly provide step by step that how to create High trust app for SharePoint online but not for SharePoint 2013.
Kaps

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp179901(v=office.15).aspx#Intro
A high-trust app for SharePoint is is primarily intended for use in an on-premises environment. The high-trust
app cannot be installed to Microsoft SharePoint Online, and the remote components are typically installed on premises, too, within the corporate firewall. Thus, the instances of the app for SharePoint are specific to each individual company.

Unable to deploy the provider hosted app on sharepoint server !!!

Hello,
I have simply created the provider hosted app by assigning the issuer ID !
Now, the SharePoint version of the app project is set as SharePoint Online.
However, when I deploy this project to SharePoint site, it shows following error :
Unknown SharePoint version: 16.0
In order to resolve this I changed the SharePoint version as SharePoint 2013
of the app project.
Though , I am getting following error on deployment:
The target version of the SharePoint site is 15.0.4569.1000, which is lower than the minimum supported SharePoint version of the app. To fix this, go to the SharePoint tab on the app for SharePoint project’s properties page, and change the Target
SharePoint Version property to the version of the SharePoint site or lower.
Would you please let me know how can I resolve this deployment error ?
Note : I am using MVC web Application template for web project
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards,
Dipti Chhatrapati

Not sure, but this is straight.
Project type - apps for sharepoint --> Enter URL --> select type as provider hosted app --> MVC --> Authentication Option.
Now when publishing the project - SP App to SharePoint/Office Store and web portion to any web server ( i generally do it in Azure).

SharePoint Online - Provider hosted App - Deployed in on-premise environment

Hi
We are evaluating SharePoint online and wanted to know if the following is possible? If yes, can anyone share his/her experience and issues faced?
We want to deploy a provider-hosted app to a on-premise environment. This app will need to connect to SharePoint online. What are the requirements from hosting perspective for the on-premise server? Does the server require anything specific so that it is
able to connect to SPOnline? Should it be outside the corporate firewall?
What is the difference between SharePoint online standard and dedicated plans, in the context of Provider hosted app. Are there limitations with respect to what can & cannot be done in a Provider hosted app in these environments?
How do I know if am using a SharePoint online standard or a dedicated plan? Where to look for?
I have seen few articles where the provider hosted app is deployed to windows azure and is connecting to SharePoint online. However this is not the case with us (i.e. we do not have windows azure for now)

Deven

Provider hosted app - Site Provisioning activities

Hi ,
I am creating a Provider hosted app which does site provisioning activities like create site , create site columns, content types etc. I have almost 50 or more fields to be added. I am using the Provider hosted app - Process Event, and used SPRemoteEventType
- App Installed.
When the app is installed the above functionalities are done, as I need to code to do these activities synchronously.
I am facing an issue in App Installed event that,during the code execution (consider the field creation method), since it takes some time to add all the fields, after some time limit, the runtime comes to the start point of code execution , which is
creation of token helper, and the methods already executed is also called again.
I have executed the code in Release mode, the logs show the above behavior.
I am not sure how I am getting this weird behavoir.
Please advise.

msdn (Handling events in apps for SharePoint):
Your implementation of the App Installed event must complete and return an SPRemoteEventResult object
within 30 seconds or the SharePoint installation infrastructure will think it has failed. The infrastructure will rerun the event, and repeat your code from the beginning, up to four times. After four timeouts,
SharePoint will roll back the entire app installation. We recommend the following practices:
If there is any code in your handler that should not be repeated after a timeout, put it in a conditional block that tests to see if it has already run. You must test the actual installed component. Simply setting
a variable to true when a block of code completes does not work as a test because all variables are reinitialized when the event times out and restarts.
Move installation code that takes more than 30 seconds into the app itself. You can add it to "first run" logic that executes the first time the app is launched. Alternatively, the app can prompt the
user to run the installation code.
If the preceding bullet item is not feasible for your app, another option is to have your event handler start a remote asynchronous process and then immediately return a SPRemoteEventResultobject.
A weakness of this strategy is that if the remote process fails, it has no way to tell SharePoint to roll back the app installation.

Security certificate issue for Provider Hosted App (SP Online)

Hi all,
I am having a hard time with SP Online debugging a basic provider hosted app.
Steps I have taken to create the app:
created a new provider hosted app in Visual Studio 2013 and setting my SP Online debugging site (wich works perfectly for SP hosted apps).
Chose Azure ACS option, although I do not have an Azure account
When I deploy the app I get to the page on my debugging site where I must choose "Trust It", but when I do I get the message that the Connection is Unsecure/unsafe:
How can I fix this? Do I need to create an Azure account for debugging purposes already? Or is there another way to solve the problem?

Hi,
I understand that you get Security certificate issue for Provider Hosted App (SP Online).
Per my knowledge, you need to create an Azure account for debugging purposes.
To create a SharePoint 2013 app for Office 365 and publish it to an Azure web site, you can refer to:

Hi,
To retrieve data from list in your provider-hosted app using SharePoint Client Object Model(CSOM), you can follow the links below for a quick start:

SharePoint Provider Hosted App that can update existing SharePoint Task List

Note: I am unable to take advantage of the Microsoft.SharePoint library directly. Adding a reference results in a 32bit/64bit library mismatch error.
I have to find a solution that uses only the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client extension.
I am looking for example code where provider-hosted SharePoint App loads a SharePoint Task List View that allows users to interact with the tasks.
So far I have only been able to programmatically create and then load the SharePoint tasks list, create and populate a DataTable object and set the datasource of a GridView object to that DataTable.
I am unable to trigger my method linked to my checkbox within the gridview.
Ideally I would like to just customize a Task View that already has this functionality.
Here is my default.aspx.cs code-behind file:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
using SP = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
namespace SPAppBasicWeb
public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
Uri redirectUrl;
switch (SharePointContextProvider.CheckRedirectionStatus(Context, out redirectUrl))
case RedirectionStatus.Ok:
return;
case RedirectionStatus.ShouldRedirect:
Response.Redirect(redirectUrl.AbsoluteUri, endResponse: true);
break;
case RedirectionStatus.CanNotRedirect:
Response.Write("An error occurred while processing your request.");
Response.End();
break;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
// The following code gets the client context and Title property by using TokenHelper.
// To access other properties, the app may need to request permissions on the host web.
var spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(Context);
using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
//clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web, web => web.Title);
//clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Response.Write(clientContext.Web.Title);
SP.ClientContext cc = new SP.ClientContext("http://server/sites/devapps");
SP.Web web = cc.Web;
SP.List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("General Tasks");
SP.CamlQuery caml = new SP.CamlQuery();
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(caml);
cc.Load<Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List>(list);
cc.Load<Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection>(items);
//try
//const int ColWidth = 40;
cc.ExecuteQuery();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Task Name", typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("ID", typeof(int));
foreach (Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItem liTask in items)
DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
dr["Task Name"] = liTask["Title"];
dr["ID"] = liTask["ID"];
//dr["chkTask"] = liTask["Checkmark"];
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();
protected void chkTask_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
//add code here to update Task Item by ID
Response.Write("checkbox event triggered");

Hi,
Please try to modify your code as below:
using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
SP.Web web = clientContext.Web;
SP.List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("General Tasks");
SP.CamlQuery caml = new SP.CamlQuery();
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(caml);
clientContext.Load(items);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
If the code still not works, I suggest you debug the code or following the blog below to create a Provider-Hosted App for SharePoint and read list items from SharePoint list.

Using powershell to deploy provider-hosted app and specify remote Url instead of using appinv.aspx page

Hello all,
Could you possibly help me with provider-hosted app development/deployment process.
We developed SharePoint provider-hosted app that works just fine in development environment. Now we need to automate it's installation in test environment via powershell.
In AppManifest.xml that we are deploying we have key instead of explicit URL:
<App xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/2012/app/manifest" Name="ShowAllRoomsApp" ProductID="{922a18aa-5592-b59a-4da9-4791baef02e7}" Version="1.0.0.0"
SharePointMinVersion="15.0.0.0">
<Properties>
<Title>SomeTitle</Title>
<StartPage>~remoteAppUrl/Pages/Default.aspx?{StandardTokens}</StartPage>
If we use as
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj655398.aspx recommends, we cannot specify Redirect Url as we can do this on
/_layouts/appinv.aspx
So now it seems like the only way to deploy this kind of solution is using appinv.aspx page.Or must we apply this URL in AppManifest on developing stage in Visual Studio?
What did I miss?
P. S. Even if I use /_layouts/appinv.aspx after powershell commandlets, I get error.

hi,
to deploy provider hosted app you need 2 things
1. Client ID
2. Redirect URL.
What you can do you can generate app from visual studio using clientID and URL from developer enviornment.
Now a app file is just a simple compressed zip file if you rename it as .zip and extract you will find AppManifest
inside it. So to create an app for Testing enviornment what you have to to Get the CLient ID (from AppRegNew.aspx) in testing enviornment. Unzip .App file change the AppManifest with testing client ID and URL than again zip file and rename as .app.
Now if you upload this file it will work.
To automate this scenerio i have created a simple windows Application in which i Pass the Client ID and StartURl and an App File it unzips the app file make changes to app and again zip it.
public static class AppPackageHelper
public const string StartUrlExpression = "{0}?{1}";
public const string StandardToken = "{StandardTokens}";
public static string Publish(string appPath, string ClientId,string StartUrl)
string tempDir = string.Empty;
string outPutFile = string.Empty;
try
string parentDir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(appPath);
outPutFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(parentDir, ClientId + "-Winshuttle.app");
tempDir = System.IO.Path.Combine(parentDir, ClientId.ToString());
Directory.CreateDirectory(tempDir);
int lastInd = appPath.LastIndexOf('.');
string tempPath = string.Empty;
string targetFilePath = string.Empty;
string cabPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(tempDir, System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(appPath) + ".cab");
FileInfo fInfo = new FileInfo(appPath) { IsReadOnly = false };
File.Copy(appPath, cabPath);
XDocument doc = null;
string appManifest = string.Empty;
using (ZipArchive zipArch = ZipFile.Open(cabPath, ZipArchiveMode.Update))
appManifest = string.Format(@"{0}\AppManifest.xml", Directory.GetParent(cabPath).FullName);
ZipArchiveEntry manifestEntry = zipArch.Entries.LastOrDefault(e => e.Name.ToLower() == "appmanifest.xml");
manifestEntry.ExtractToFile(appManifest);
doc = XDocument.Load(appManifest);
XNamespace ns = doc.Root.GetDefaultNamespace();
string defaultUrl = string.Format(StartUrlExpression, StartUrl.TrimEnd('/'), StandardToken);
doc.Descendants(XName.Get("StartPage", ns.NamespaceName)).First().Value = defaultUrl;
doc.Descendants(XName.Get("RemoteWebApplication", ns.NamespaceName)).First().Attribute(XName.Get("ClientId")).Value = setupInfo.ClientId.ToString();
doc.Save(appManifest);
if (manifestEntry != null)
manifestEntry.Delete();
zipArch.CreateEntryFromFile(appManifest, "AppManifest.xml");
int totEnt = zipArch.Entries.Count;
for (int e = 0; e < totEnt; e++)
if (zipArch.Entries[e].Open().Length == 0)
//if (zipArch.Entries.Count > totEnt && e >= totEnt) break;
//zipArch.CreateEntry(zipArch.Entries[e].FullName);
File.Delete(appManifest);
if (File.Exists(outPutFile))
File.Delete(outPutFile);
File.Move(cabPath, outPutFile);
return outPutFile;
catch
throw;
finally
if (System.IO.Directory.Exists(tempDir))
System.IO.Directory.Delete(tempDir, true);
return outPutFile;
using System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.dll.
Also if you want to do it using powershell You need to do the same thing unzip-> changes values-> zip
So basic thing is You need to ahve only valid AppManifest file which contains 2 valid values Client Id and StartUrl
if you changes it inside appmanifest manuall than it will also work. Using above code you can create a console Application to do it. You can use powershell it just that i dont know how to zip unzip in powershell but i am pretty sure you can easily find it
on searching.

Hi ,
Use the below code
Public string GetAccessToken(){
string sharePointSiteUrlHost = Page.Request["SPHostUrl"].Tostring();
string AccessToken = tokenHelper.GetS2SAccessTokenWithWindowsIdentity(sharePointSiteUrlHost, Request.LogonUserIdentity);
return accessToken;
Than initialize the ClientCOntext with the below Method
private static ClientContext GetClientContextWithAccessTokenString(string targetUrl, object accessToken)
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(targetUrl);
clientContext.AuthenticationMode = ClientAuthenticationMode.Anonymous;
clientContext.FormDigestHandlingEnabled = false;
clientContext.ExecutingWebRequest +=
delegate(object oSender, WebRequestEventArgs webRequestEventArgs)
webRequestEventArgs.WebRequestExecutor.WebRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)";
webRequestEventArgs.WebRequestExecutor.RequestHeaders["Authorization"] =
"Bearer " + accessToken;
return clientContext;
use this clientCOntext and it will work.
Do not use
SharePointContextProvider

Hi Jerry,
I agree with Nikhil, I think you have posted partial ULS log, we could not find effective errors for the issue.
For Provider Hosted app in SharePoint server on-premise,
the TokenHelper class will try to access your Azure Security Principle by default.
Did you have a valid Azure account?
If not, the issue may be caused that you don't have a valid account, to resolve this issue, you can use
a valid Azure account or not going to use Azure Platform for hosting the app as the article
below.

sharepointSite/_vti_bin/ReportServer
We are migrating sp 2010 site to SP 2013 provider hosted app. we are using Report viewer control (version 10.0.0) in .net application app server, And the reporting service is configured in sharepoint site and report is uploaded in the document

Can you please help me to solve this issue

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had issues about the provider hosted app.
Per the error, the issue may be related to the permission issue.
For a better troubleshooting, we can check with the following steps.
To norrow down the issue, please create a new and clean app to test whether it has the same issue.
You can check the ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred when you deploy the app and open the site page.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
You can check the ULS log by the methods here:

The remote server returned an error :(401) unauthorized in Provider hosted app deployment

Hi,
We are trying to deploy the provider hosted app in server environment . we are getting the "The remote server returned an error :(401) unauthorized" error after deploy the app in server.
stack Trace:
[webException:Te remote server returned an error:(401) UnAuthorized.]
System.Net.HeepWebRequest.GetResponse().
Followed the same MSDN steps , but sill same error. We have attached the certificate and using the same issuer ID in the app web.config.
Verified the IIS setting and still getting the same error when we call the "Clientcontext.ExecuteQuery()" method.
Same code is working fine in my Local dev environment.
If anyone have idea about this issue, please let me know.
Thank you,
Mylsamy

Hi ,Thank you for your response. We have tried all the options and everything is same (Client ID,Issuer ID...etc) and finally figured out the issue.The below link saved my day.http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn762439(v=office.15).aspxIn "TokenHelper.cs" GetRealmFromTargetUrl method always return null andWhen we analyze the issue we found some variable name assigned for "Realm" Instead of GUID in SP server.Power shell command to get the Realm in SP server: Get-SPAuthenticationRealmWe have followed below article to generate the new GUID for realm.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219756(v=office.15).aspx$c =Get-SPServiceContext -Site "http://<websiteurl>"Set-SPAuthenticationRealm -ServiceContext $c -Realm "a686d436-9f16-42db-09b7-cb578e110ccd".
Thankyou,Mylsamy

Sharepoint online provider-hosted app AppEventReceiver callout failed.

I've created an AppEventReceiver for sharepoint online provider-hosted app, I can deploy the app if i hosted the remote web application on MS Azure, it work fine. if hosted the remote web application on local machine IIS whith public ip address, when
I deploy the app online the following error:
The remote event receiver callout failed.
Details: There was no endpoint listening at
http://115.193.xxx.xxx:6666/AppEventReceiver.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
two question:
1. does the provider-hosted app, (remote web application )must host on Azure so that the AppEventReceiver (appinstalled) then trigger?
2. what need to do when host on local machine IIS whith public ip address?

try these link:
http://www.sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2013/07/deploying-sp2013-provider-hosted.html
if you are using office365 for sharepoint then you can develope list using sandbox solution .
