I configured the complete development environment for SharePoint 2013 app development (SharePoint Hosted) as per the recommended approach. Everything seems to work perfectly fine, after few days when I tried to deploy another app from VS 2013, the app deployment time goes up to 30 mins with error " Unable to install app for SharePoint ", and sometimes the deployment timer becomes endless in VS 2013. When I checked the app status on the target web application it always shows " we're adding your app click here to cancel ". This was too annoying and I can't even redeploy it from VS 2013 as it prompts versioning error. Finally I was able to resolve it, please preoceed with following steps. Go to the target web application, and click "Cancel" on the app. Once it is removed, go to the SharePoint Server on which SharePoint 2013 has been installed.

I faced and issue in ASP.NET MVC application where the value of SessionID variable changes on consecutive page requests. The reason is either you don't have a Global.asax file in your solution, or you have a global.asax in your solution without the definition of session end and session start. So the web server actually doesn't take care of session start and end event per application basis, and it generates a new key on every page request. You should have a Global.asax in your project and it shall have following two functions added:        protected void Session_Start()         { }         protected void Session_End()         { }      This should work perfectly....... Enjoy coding!
