Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint'

Everybody is busy enjoying the weekend but our team faced one critical issue during this weekend and working together we were able to resolve this issue after debugging it for many hours…

Farm configuration:

·         Windows Server 2012

·         Office 2013

·         SharePoint 2013

·         Visual Studio 2013

·         SQL Server 2008 R2

Error Message:

“Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': Failed to install app for SharePoint. Please see the output window for details."

Troubleshooting done:

1)   Developer site is selected or not

2)   service applications (App Management Service and Subscription Service) are configured and running

3)   App domain setup is performed (records in host file or DNS)

4)   Loopback Check is disabled

5)   IE is configured for your app domain

Best Practice:

I would recommend you to check the SP logs first and it will give you the clear picture as where exactly it’s failing.
