Here is the solution for the latest release 2014-06-01 version of API.

            "[concat('hidden-related:', resourceGroup().id, '/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/', parameters('webSiteHostingPlanName'))]": "Resource",
            "displayName": "WebSite"
        },
        "dependsOn": [
            "[concat('Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/', parameters('webSiteHostingPlanName'))]"
        ],
        "properties": {

With thanks to Simon Pedersen - properties/siteConfig/appSettings works as of November 2015.

{
    "apiVersion": "2014-06-01",
    "name": "[concat(parameters('siteName'),copyIndex())]",
    "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites",
    "location": "[parameters('siteLocations')[copyIndex()]]",
    "tags": {
        "[concat('hidden-related:', resourceGroup().id, '/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/', parameters('hostingPlanName'))]": "Resource",
        "displayName": "Website"
    },
    "dependsOn": [
        "[concat('Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/', concat(parameters('hostingPlanName'),copyIndex()))]",
        "[concat('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/', parameters('newStorageAccountName'))]"
    ],
    "properties": {
        "name": "[concat(parameters('siteName'),copyIndex())]",
        "serverFarm": "[concat(parameters('hostingPlanName'),copyIndex())]",
        "siteConfig": {
            "appSettings": [
                {
                    "name": "AzureStorageAccount",
                    "value": "[concat('DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=',parameters('newStorageAccountName'),';AccountKey=',listKeys(variables('storageid'),'2015-05-01-preview').key1)]"
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    "copy": {
        "name": "siteCopy",
        "count": "[parameters('numberOfSites')]"
    }
}

Answer 3

I have a sample that shows how to do this here. It looks like this:

    {
      "apiVersion": "2014-11-01",
      "name": "appsettings",
      "type": "config",
      "dependsOn": [
        "[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/Sites', parameters('siteName'))]"
      ],
      "properties": {
        "AppSettingKey1": "Some value",
        "AppSettingKey2": "My second setting",
        "AppSettingKey3": "My third setting"
      }
    }

Please make sure you use the newest 2014-11-01 API, as the way it deals with app settings is a bit different from the older API.

Adding as a sub/child resource fails to work using the later API's, however adding a "siteConfig" property with an "appSettings" element, as stated above, seems to work. I am using the API Version 2016-03-01

{
        "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites",
        "name": "[variables('webappName')]",
        "apiVersion": "2016-03-01",
        "location": "[parameters('location')]",
        "tags": "[parameters('tags')]",
        "kind": "app",
        "properties": {
            "name": "[variables('webappName')]",
            "serverFarmId": "[variables('targetResourceId')]",
            "hostingEnvironment": "[parameters('hostingEnvironment')]",
            "netFrameworkVersion": "[parameters('netFrameworkVersion')]",
            "use32BitWorkerProcess": false,
            "webSocketsEnabled": true,
            "alwaysOn": true,
            "managedPipelineMode": "integrated",
            "clientAffinityEnabled": true,
            "hostNameSslStates": [
                {
                    "name": "[variables('hostName')]",
                    "sslState": "SniEnabled",
                    "thumbprint": "[parameters('certThumb')]",
                    "ipBasedSslState": "NotConfigured",
                    "hostType": "Standard"
                }
            ],
            "siteConfig": {
               "appSettings": "[variables('appSettings')]"
            }
        },
        "dependsOn": [
            "[concat('Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/', variables('hostingPlanName'))]"
        ],
        "resources": []
    }

And my variable looks like this.....

"appSettings": [
            {
                "name": "WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION",
                "value": "8.9.3"
            },
            {
                "name": "WEBSITE_PRIVATE_EXTENSIONS",
                "value": "0"
            },
            {
                "name": "MobileAppsManagement_EXTENSION_VERSION",
                "value": "latest"
            },
            {
                "name": "WEBSITE_LOAD_CERTIFICATES",
                "value": "*"
            }
        ]
