As Apps require a DNS entry, it is difficult to create a DNS entry for development environment. Below is the post which will guide you to setup a development environment for apps without DNS entry(using hosts file).
2. Modify Registry entry
4. Create a app management and substription service application
where domain\user is the managed account name
5. Setup app domain
Go to central administration site. On left navigation click "Apps".
Click on Configure App URLs in App Management.
Setup the app domain
You can also use below command to setup using powershell.
6. Create an App
Open visual studio and create a new project, give a name as HelloWorldApp
Provide the name of app.
Provide the development site SharePoint url
Select SharePoint-hosted as a hosts
Click Finish.
Run the solution by clicking F5. The solution will run and you can see the app.
1. Add entry in hosts file.
Add a below entry in hosts file (C:\Windows\Systems32\drivers\etc)
127.0.0.1 apps.servername.com
where servername.com is Full Computer Name(which we can get by using Computer Properties)
2. Modify Registry entry
Open the registry editor by typing regedit in the command prompt.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
Add a new DWORD with Key DisableLoopbackCheck
Edit and set its value to 1 (Decimal)
Re-Start your machine
3. Start the service
Run the below command in SharePoint powershell to start Admin, Timer , Apps and Subscription service
net start spadminv4
net start sptimerv4
Get-SPServiceInstance | where{$_.GetType().Name -eq "AppManagementServiceInstance" -or $_.GetType().Name -eq "SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceInstance"} | Start-SPServiceInstance
4. Create a app management and substription service application
$account = Get-SPManagedAccount "domain\user"
$appPoolSubSvc = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name SettingsServiceAppPool -Account $account
$appPoolAppSvc = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name AppServiceAppPool -Account $account
$appSubSvc = New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplication -ApplicationPool $appPoolSubSvc -Name SettingsServiceApp -DatabaseName SettingsServiceDB
$proxySubSvc = New-SPSubscriptionSettingsServiceApplicationProxy -ServiceApplication $appSubSvc
$appAppSvc = New-SPAppManagementServiceApplication -ApplicationPool $appPoolAppSvc -Name AppServiceApp -DatabaseName AppServiceDB
$proxyAppSvc = New-SPAppManagementServiceApplicationProxy -ServiceApplication $appAppSvc
where domain\user is the managed account name
5. Setup app domain
