azd up cannot provision Azure resources when the AppHost only has Aspire Integrations (no .NET Projects)

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

I have created a simple .NET Aspire application that only has Aspire integration (PostgreSQL) and no .NET project. The application runs successfully on a local machine. When running "azd up" I encounter the following error:

`PS C:\Users\mja\source\repos\Aspire-Empty-App-Bug> azd up

@vhvb1989 ?

[davidfowl]

@janeski can you try adding the package Aspire.Hosting.Azure.AppContainers and calling AddAzureContainerAppEnvironment?

[janeski]

@davidfowl, still the same issue. I tried azd down and azd up again without success.

This is what I've tried:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.AddAzureContainerAppEnvironment("empty-env");

var postgres = builder.AddPostgres("postgres")
.WithEnvironment("POSTGRES_DB", "postgres")
.WithPgAdmin();

var db = postgres.AddDatabase("db");

builder.Build().Run();

[vhvb1989]

There is an issue for this @janeski
The current workaround is to add at least one project (calling builder.AddProject(.....))

It might not be fixed until Aspire 9.4

@eerhardt had a nice catch here and figure this was actually an issue in AZD because the ACA definition provided by the AppHost contains a public image. AZD had a bug trying to log in to ACR before deploying.

Fix here: Azure/azure-dev#5199

@davidfowl you can update the tags and maybe close this?
