Azure Devops Extension not loading
Hello I am trying as part of some school work to make an Azure Devops Extension so far I have deduced that I need to make a react app to make what I want to make, but I have now come so far in my development of this extension where I am trying to upload my extension to the marketplace to test it out but I am running into some trouble.
I have no prior experience with developing Azure Devops Extensions and this is my first time. So if anyone could help point me in the right direction as to why my extension won't load and outputs these errors it would be greatly appreciated.
If more details are needed I will gladly share more :)

Take this:
- Check the Manifest File: Ensure that your vss-extension.json file is correctly configured. This file defines your extension's metadata and must include all required fields.
- Validate the Extension: Use the Azure DevOps Extension Validator to check for any issues in your extension before uploading it to the marketplace.
- Debugging Locally: Test your extension locally using the Azure DevOps Extension SDK. This can help identify issues before uploading.
- Check Permissions: Ensure that your Azure DevOps account has the necessary permissions to upload and test extensions in the marketplace.
- Network and Proxy Settings: If you're behind a firewall or proxy, it might block the extension from loading. Check your network settings and ensure that the required endpoints are accessible.
