I need to add a custom form (new, view and display forms) in a SharePoint Hosted app. I did follow these two articles article1 and article2.

Steps so far

• Created a SharePoint App project

• Added a custom list (Employee) to the app

• Added a custom new form and set the deployment type of the aspx to element file

• Added the following line in the list schema.xml file

  '<'Form Type="NewForm" Url="NewEmployee.aspx" Path="NewEmployee.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main"Template="NewEmployee.aspx"/>'

When I change the original form tag to the one shown above as suggested by the solution does not build and fails when I try to deploy it.

The error in the Output window is as below

App installation encountered the following errors: 05/04/2017 00:12:02

@"Error 1
        CorrelationId: 0c2af6ff-a1f6-4706-8b49-7a1797dd3fab
        ErrorDetail: There was a problem with activating the app web definition.
