__RemoteAppManagementInfo__ SharePoint 2013 - remote hosting service is not configured

Question

I see a strange error when deploying a simple Hello World application on my new SharePoint 2013 server using Visual Studio 2012 . Error: “Remote hosting service is not configured”, and internal message and stack trace:

Microsoft.Office.SecureStoreService.Server.SecureStoreServiceTargetApplicationNotFoundException: target application not found (application ID: __RemoteAppManagementInfo__). at Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SecureStoreHelper.ExecuteSecureStoreMethod (String methodName, Object [] args) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.AppDeployment.RemoteWebSiteAccount.Initialize () at Microsoft.SharePoint.Packaging.SPRemoteWebGroupCiteDepentmentmentlement Packaging.SPRemoteWebSiteDeploymentGroup.DeployInternal () at Microsoft.SharePoint.Packaging.SPRemoteWebSiteDeploymentGroup.Deploy () at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAppTask.DeployOperation () at Microsoft.SharePoint.Lifecycle.MonitoredTaskExution

I know that I could probably go into the secure storage service and configure a new target safe store application with this application identifier, but I did not see this in any of the installation documentation, and I really would like to know where it comes from. I feel like I am missing a simple configuration parameter somewhere, but I cannot find it.

Answer 1

It looks like you are creating an Autohosted application.

Autofocus applications are only supported with Office 365 SharePoint Online . This may remain true for some time after the release of SharePoint 2013 .
