Error occurred in deployment step 'Install App for SharePoint': Failed to install App for SharePoint

Answer 1

Follow the the Steps Given below

Create an isolated app domain on your development computer

Microsoft has provided also some PowerShell commmand to configure your SharePoint (link).

Start the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.

 1. net start spadminv4
 2. net start sptimerv4

Create your isolated app domain your apps, for example "apps.developement.local".

1. Set-SPAppDomain "apps.developement.local"

Ensure that the SPSubscriptionSettingsService and AppManagementServiceInstance services are running.

1. Get-SPServiceInstance | where{$_.GetType().Name -eq "AppManagementServiceInstance" -or $_.GetType().Name -eq "SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceInstance"} | Start-SPServiceInstance

Verify that the SPSubscriptionSettingsService and AppManagementServiceInstance services are running.

1. Get-SPServiceInstance | where{$_.GetType().Name -eq "AppManagementServiceInstance" -or $_.GetType().Name -eq "SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceInstance"}

You must specify a farm admin account under which the SPSubscriptionService and AppManagementServiceInstance services will run. This farm admin account must be an SPManagedAccount. If your farm admin is not an SPManagedAccount, you can create a SPManagedAccount with your farm admin credentials by typing the following command in the SharePoint Management Shell (You will be prompted for the farm admin domain\user and password).

 1. $account = New-SPManagedAccount

Specify a farm admin account, application pool, and database settings for the SPSubscriptionService and AppManagementServiceInstance services.

1. $account = Get-SPManagedAccount "domain\user"
2. $appPoolSubSvc = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name SettingsServiceAppPool -Account $account
3. $appPoolAppSvc = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name AppServiceAppPool -Account $account
4. $appSubSvc = New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplication –ApplicationPool $appPoolSubSvc –Name SettingsServiceApp –DatabaseName SettingsServiceDB
5. $proxySubSvc = New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplicationProxy –ServiceApplication $appSubSvc
6. $appAppSvc = New-SPAppManagementServiceApplication -ApplicationPool $appPoolAppSvc -Name AppServiceApp -DatabaseName AppServiceDB
7. $proxyAppSvc = New-SPAppManagementServiceApplicationProxy -ServiceApplication $appAppSvc

Specify your tenant name by typing the following code in the SharePoint Management Shell.

1. Set-SPAppSiteSubscriptionName -Name "app" -Confirm:$false

Answer 2

Go to Central Administration -> Services on Server

Check if the App Management Service and Subscription Service are started. You can use the following PowerShell to start them:

Get-SPServiceInstance | where{$_.GetType().Name -eq "A
ppManagementServiceInstance" -or $_.GetType().Name -eq "SPSubscriptionSettingsSe
rviceInstance"} | Start-SPServiceInstance

If they already are started, you will get the following warnings:

WARNING: 'App Management Service' is already started on server 'SP2013-1-FLK'

WARNING: 'Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Subscription Settings Service' is already started on server 'SP2013-1-FLK'
