Developing SharePoint App Causes a new url to generated each time I deploy

67 Views Asked by At

I am developing a SharePoint app that communicates with social feeds such as Twitter, Facebook (the user has to sign in ofcourse through the App using OAUTH). My problem is that everytime I deploy the app (using VS) it generates a new url and I need to keep registering this url with the community sites (Twitter, Facebook). Is there another way to overcome this problem.

I guess you are talking about the App Web wich is created every time the application is deployed (url has a form like that https://prefix-id.tenantdomain.tld/pathOfWebItHasBeenDeployedTo)
This is by design and here is some documentation about it
Then I guess the problem is because you're using OAuth implicit flow which requires url not to change over time. Unfortunately this is a by design limitation, to work around that you'd have to transtion to a provider hosted application. (therefore hosting it on your own server with a fixed url)
