Solved: Unable to publish to Azure App Service from Visual Studio

I recently created an Azure App Service and tried to publish a new ASP.NET Core web app using its publish profile downloaded. When i did that, I encountered an error:

Web deployment task failed. (Could not connect to the remote computer ("[redacted].scm.azurewebsites.net"). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started.

The requested resource does not exist, or the request URL is incorrect.
Error details:
Could not connect to the remote computer ("[redacted].scm.azurewebsites.net"). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started.

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Here's how to solve that error:

1. Go to the app service on the Azure portal.
2. Go to configuration.
3. Add an app setting with name WEBSITE_WEBDEPLOY_USE_SCM and value false.
4. Save changes.
5. Download a new publish profile.

You should be able to do publish from Visual Studio now.
