Is it possible to use the swa-cli with existing Azure resources?

I have restricted access to a client Azure Resources. The client created a default static-webapp (let's call it "my-mvp") and a virtual machine for me to deploy a app and a api. I am not allowed to create any new static-webapps or any other service. When using the swa deploy -command it does not allow me to connect the existing source.

How can I link my-mvp project to the existing my-mvp static webapp in Azure?

Deployment on my own Azure subscription works just fine when using the swa deploy command and creating a new Static WebApp. Also my .yml configuration works fine so I got it all working. This question has merly to do with the usage of the swa-cli.

While trying out the swa-cli with swa deploy -command with the following configuration (swa-cli.config.json);

{
  "$schema": "https://aka.ms/azure/static-web-apps-cli/schema",
  "configurations": {
    "my-mvp": {
      "appName": "my-mvp",
      "appLocation": "./apps/frontend",
      "outputLocation": "build",
      "appBuildCommand": "npm run build",
      "run": "npm start",
      "appDevserverUrl": "http://localhost:3000",
      "apiLocation": "./apps/backend",
      "apiBuildCommand": "npm run build",
      "apiRunCommand": "npm run start:dev",
      "apiDevserverUrl": "http://localhost:3002",
      "apiPort": 3002,
      "appPort": 3000,
      "subscriptionId": "omitted for obvious reasons",
      "resourceGroupName": "omitted for obvious reasons",
      "tenantId": "omitted for obvious reasons"
    }
  }
}

I got the following output;

Checking project "my-mvp" settings...
✖ The project "my-mvp" is linked to "DevOps"!
✖ Unlink the project from the "DevOps" provider and try again.

my-mvp is the name of the static-webapp resource in Azure DevOps were I'm trying to attach this project to.

If I rename the appName to something else it gives me the default options;

Checking project "my-other-mvp" settings...
? Would you like to create a new Azure Static Web Apps project? › (Y/n)

Because I'm not allowed to create any new Static Web App I press "n";

Checking project "my-other-mvp" settings...
✔ Would you like to create a new Azure Static Web Apps project? … no
✖ The provided project name "my-other-mvp" was not found.

If I press "Yes" the response is a RestError. If I enter "Yes" with the appName "my-mvp" it gives me the very first reponse.

You have to disconnect the existing app first!

First, install the Azure CLI: https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-br/cli/azure/install-azure-cli

After that, run the following command in your Terminal to login:

$ az login

If you use resource groups, set your default resource group with this command:

$ az configure --defaults group=YOUR-RESOURCE-GROUP

Finally, disconnect the web app with the following command

$ az staticwebapp disconnect -n APP-NAME

For you, it should be:

$ az staticwebapp disconnect -n my-mvp
