Deep links for published apps ignoring entityId in the new Microsoft Teams client

For apps already published in the Microsoft Teams store, deep links to personal static tabs are not working correctly in the new Teams client.

 

To reproduce:

- Paste a link to a personal tab of an app in the channel chat.
- Click on link in new Teams web client.
- Note that the link takes you to the app, but it always loads the first static tab in the app, ignoring the entityId provided in the link.
- Try clicking on the link in the old Teams web client.
- Note that you are now correctly redirected to the personal static tab associated with the entityId in the link.


Sample link:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/6eacb5f0-68b0-46f0-9507-9e906c6861fc/about

 

However, if I try this same use case on a custom uploaded app (not published), I am correctly redirected to the appropriate static tab.

 

I am using the following documentation for building the link - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/build-and-test/deep-link-application?tabs=teamsjs-v2#configure-deep-link-to-browse-within-your-app-manually
