Apps added to App Catalog not available for installation on other sites

I started with SPFx development recently. I packaged a client side web-part as a file helloworld-webpart.sppkg following Microsoft's tutorial. Then I uploaded it to my Apps Catalog site. Though it was uploaded to the Apps Catalog successfully, but it's not available for installation on any of the sites. I tried the gear 'Add an App', tried searching for 'helloworld', but couldn't find it.

Any suggestion/help on this would be much appreciated.

    Hi,

     

    I get the same issue, I manage to solve it using Powershell.

    I uploaded the SPFx package to my Apps Catalog site using powershell and when I look for it , I find it.

     

    Connect-PnPOnline -UseWebLogin $Site
    # Add the app to the app catalog and publish it
    Add-PnPApp -Path $appPath -Scope Site -Publish

     

    I hope this solution can help someone

    I figured it out. The problem was with my webpart code. I were getting this error before packaging the webpart:

    -> Cannot find module 'helloWorldStrings'

    I removed this error first, then again packaged the solution and uploaded it to the Apps Catalog site. This time it is working fine as expected.
