App Not Showing in Apps List for Tabs

Question

Please help. I am struggling to have my app show up in the list of apps available for adding as a Tab. I felt I have gone through documentation and followed the guidance. But whatever I do it is never available to add. A snippet of my manifest below:

"accentColor": "#FFFFFF",
"bots": [],
"composeExtensions": [],
"configurableTabs": [
{
"configurationUrl": "https://test-dxpweb-appservice.azurewebsites.net/shell.html?shell=msx-teams-shell&authPopup=true",
"canUpdateConfiguration": true,
"scopes": [
"team",
"groupchat"
],
"context": [
"channelTab"
]
}
],
"staticTabs": [
{
"entityId": "index",
"name": "Personal Tab",
"contentUrl": "https://test-dxpweb-appservice.azurewebsites.net/shell.html?shell=msx-teams-shell&authPopup=true",
"websiteUrl": "https://test-dxpweb-appservice.azurewebsites.net/shell.html?shell=msx-teams-shell&authPopup=true",
"scopes": [
"personal"
]
}
],

Answer 1

I might be a little novice to this whole thing. Currently I am sideloading this app as it is not in my store. When I add the custom app, do I need to select "Add to Team" everytime? Or once I install it once, it should be in the list of apps when i click "+". I am able to add to a team if I upload the custom app everytime.

Answer 2

Have you tried adding your app from Teams Admin center directly?
Please go through this docs if not yet seen: Upload your app in Microsoft Teams and Enable custom Teams apps

I think we can close this now. I understand now the steps required to sideload a custom app.
