Azure Static Web Apps: "No matching static site found" error in Close Pull Request job

I have an Angular app that I want to deploy with Azure Static Web Apps. I have followed the Quickstart: Build your first static web app guide that sets up a Static Web App via the Azure Portal.

I then get an autogenerated Github Actions workflow that builds and deploys the app to Azure Static Web apps. I have modified the Workflow to use yarn instead of npm, as my project uses yarn.

Here is my workflow file:

The Close Pull Request job fails with the following error when trying to delete the environment preview after merging a pull request:

I have tried regenerating the Azure Static Web Apps API token and updating it in GitHub, but the issue persists.

Question: How can I resolve the "No matching static site found" error in the Close Pull Request job? Is there something wrong with my workflow configuration?
