fx-extension.pre-debug-check failed

[amansani15]

Describe the bug:
I have created a project using Teams tool kit and I did provisioning and deploy to the cloud too. After everything is working on my end, I pushed the code to Azure DevOps so that rest of the team can work on the same code.

One of the team members pulled the code into there system and failed to run the code. Below is the step where it is failed and the errors occurred:

1. • [Teams Toolkit] Provisioning Azure AD app: [2/3] Create secret for Azure AD app (Notice: You can reload the window and retry if task spends too long time.)
2. • [aad.AadCreateSecretError]: Failed to create an application secret in Azure Active Directory. Please refer to the log for detailed information.
3. • Running the contributed command: 'fx-extension.pre-debug-check' failed.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new project using MS Teams tool kit
2. Provisioning and Deploy to the cloud
3. Create a project in azure devops and publish your code.
4. Ask other team member to pull the code and to run the project (Note: the other team member already have Teams Tool kit extension installed)
5. When they run, you can see this Azure AD error.

Expected behavior
Now the person who created the project, only they can run the project locally for debugging. Looking for the steps/fix where anyone in the team who pull the code can able to run the project and debug locally.

@amansani15 Thanks very much for the feedback. Your scenario is valid and we definitely will provide more smooth experience in this scenario in the future. And it is already in our backlog. For now, to unblock you, there is a manual to enable the flow: https://github.com/OfficeDev/TeamsFx/blob/dev/docs/vscode-extension/collaborating.md
