Aditional info

Has worked flawlessly until today, when it stopped working all of a sudden.

[bjorkholm-g]

This issue seems to be identical to issue: #18365

I'm also seeing that the previous version 4.221.103 was working, and since the update to 4.223.0 we're getting this issue.

[MortenMeisler]

Having the same error here, seems like version 4.223.0 has this issue

[rwwsysdev]

Same here - all my pipelines just stopped working today

[bjorkholm-g]

Running pipeline in debug mode gives the following information:

App Service Application settings are already present.

Same error here (on self hosted), reverting to 4.221.103 solved the problem.

[MortenMeisler]

Fixed with fixed version, but this is a workaround. Need to be able to subscribe to minor/revisions for security and if sdk changes.

- task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4.221.103

Nice to know the workaround

[earthcoder]

same error too, i noticed we had deployments working with 4.221.103 just before release, we dont use YAML so downgraded to version 3 seems to work ok for now as a workaround

[using MS hosted]

[GerardGroenewegen]

same issue here, ##[error]TypeError: Cannot read property 'retrieveSecret' of undefined

[bjorkholm-g]

Similarly as in #18360
working now without pipeline changes due to rollback, after seeing comment #18360 (comment)

Thank you for the rollback!

Duplicating with #18361 .
