I have tried same steps and could not find webpart in either add an app page or in web part gallery. Published components manually to Document library as well after modifying the CDN path but no results. Hope Pernille-Eskebo releases fix for this in next upgrade patch.

    I am glad I am not alone with this problem:)

    I did read somewhere that I need to set up an app store (in addition to the app catalog) to be able to use SPFx apps.  I am not sure if that will fix the issue but I am going to give that a try.

      Hello,
      Check your SP logs. You might see this exception:
      An exception was thrown while retrieving Apps from Corporate Catalog. Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.

      If this is the case then this issue is similar to SharePoint/sp-dev-docs#1016

      And you should then apply the language dependent fix as well.
      Read https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/stefan_gossner/2017/11/14/november-2017-cu-for-sharepoint-server-2016-is-available-for-download/

      In short, install the language "dependent" update that comes with the CU, then delete the App Catalog, create the App Catalog again, upload your app, give permissions on the app catalog to the user who is adding the app. And then finally you will see your spfx app in "Add an app" section.

      Bye
