How do I include the app.settings file when publishing (from Visual Studio) an Azure WebJob?

Please try the following:

• In VS, add the settings.job file at the root of your WebJobs console app
• Under the file's properties, mark it as Copy if newer (or Copy always)

And it should get deployed. Find full sample that does that here: https://github.com/davidebbo-test/WebAppWithWebJobsVS.
