Developing App using Visual Studio 2012 and Host file update
Hi, I have installed SP-2013 & Visual studio recently and I created my first "Hello World" Sharepoint hosted app using VS-2012. The App is working fine but every time I deploy my app using VS-2012, the host file is not getting updated with the app domin value, so I have to manually update and its very cumbersome process to copy past the new app domain URL to host file. Can somebody tell why VS-2012 is not updating my host file for App deployment, any configuration is missing. I'm using VS-2012 Developer version and latest version Office tools for VS-2012 for SharePoint 2013 development.

I tried to repair the VS-2012 & Office tools for VS-2012 but still have the same issue. The host file is still not getting updated while after deploying app. I presume this is related to VS-2012 issue not Sharepoint 2013 issue?

Just some addational information - I'm using VS2012 RTM (on SP2013 RTM) with the Tools for Office Preview-2 and its not updating the host file after app deployment. But same works fine in another system which has the same setup & software. is it problem with VS-2012 or SharePoint installation?

Hi Saban, this seems to be an issue related to the SharePoint 2013 add-in of Visual Studio 2012. A couple of questions: Have you installed Visual Studio 2012 update 1? This post has a good how to. Are you running Visual Studio 2012 as administrator? Marco Rizzi @Avanade Italy http://blog.marcorizzi.com
