Hello,

I am using the Teams Toolkit to develop a bot with message extension and tab functionality.
I followed the example of this sample code. I opened a free ngrok instance (https://xxxx-xx-xx-xx-xxx.ngrok-free.app) and added that ngrok instance at all the BaseUrl and ValidDomain fields as instructed.
The code works locally, I created a zip of the manifest and icons and uploaded into the Teams app to test.

However, I want to eventually publish the app in the Teams store, and I am not sure what should I put instead of the ngrok link as the BaseUrl or Valid Domain?

    To Publish the App in store. First you need to create the app service in Azure portal.
    After successfully creating the app service you will get the Url-
    http://<app-name>.azurewebsites.net.
    you need to replace the above URL with the ngrok & valid domain section.

    To Create the app service please follow the below documentation-
