Manually deploy the SP Starter Kit .sppkg SPFx solution packages to the tenant App Catalog

The SP Starter Kit deployment process will automatically deploy the included SPFx solutions to your tenant app catalog. You can also pre-deploy any / all of the includes .sppkg packages from the /source folder manually to the tenant app catalog, as well as 'manually approve the requested permissions`.

Pre-requirements

1. You will need tenant admin access.

2. You will already have to have created an Application Catalog from your SharePoint Admin Center. Note: A newly created app catalog may take a few minutes to a few hours to fully provision.

Manually deploy SP Starter Kit .sppkg files

1. Load your tenant app catalog in a browser, i.e. http://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/apps

2. Drag and drop each .sppkg from the './source/[component]/sharepoint/solution folder into your app catalog. As an example, to manually deploy the React Banner webpart package included in the starter kit, drag and drop react-banner.sppkg from the ./source/react-banner/sharepoint/solution into your App Catalog

   

3. Wait for the upload to complete.

   

4. After a successful package upload, you will be asked to trust the solution. You will want to Make this solution available to all sites in the organization. Also note that you will need to approve api permissions after 'deploying' the solution.

   

5. Your solution should now be deployed.

   

6. Verify no errors were thrown during solution deployment.

   

7. You should now approve the API permissions found in the API access pakge available in the SharePoint admin center.
