SharePoint App Deployment error : 'Failed to install app for SharePoint'

Question

When I tried to add a SharePoint mvc app I am getting following error:

Error occurred in deployment step \'Install app for SharePoint\': 
Failed to install app f         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem after updateding my NuGet packages. A file called version.json was added and caused this issue. Setting the deployment type to NoDeployment fixed it.
