App Management Service Application Stopped

Question

I've just provisioned the App Management Service Application in my SP 2013 on-prem dev farm. However, the status says "Stopped" when I view the list of Service Applications.

The service instance is started, however.

When I check the service application in Powershell, it says "Disabled".

How can I get the service app and associated proxy to a "Started" status?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The Disable status means the App service is not provisioned correctly, so try to provision it using PowerShell

$srv = Get-SPServiceInstance | where-object {$_.TypeName -eq "App Management Service"}
$srv.Provision()
Get-SPServiceInstance | $srv #check its status

This issue might also occur if you have started the App Managment Service in Services on Server before creating the App Managment Service Application Service.

So in your case,

• Stop the App Managment Service in Services on Server
• Delete the newly configured App Managment Service Application Service
• Reconfigure App Managment Service Application Service in Manage Service Application
• Start the App Managment Service in Services on Server again.

Answer 2

I was able to get this fixed by provisioning the App Management Service Application and App Management Service Application Proxy separately in PowerShell.
