Tab app for Sharepoint home page fails
Steve Frank - Could you please set "showLoadingIndicator": to false in the manifest?
Thanks, Nikitha-MSFT
Have not been able to get a tab to load to a simple external website or SP. I did find that one needs to load the Teams SDK in the external site, which was not mentioned in the original tutorial. For a plain external website:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/tabs/how-to/create-tab-pages/content-page
and for SP
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/web-parts/get-started/using-web-part-as-ms-teams-tab
but I still was not able to get even a simple external web page to load in a custom app tab.

- Hi, I had same issue and disabling loading indicator helped. I'm curious about the root cause. Is there any more information available why loading indicator isn't working and if it is a side-effect of some bigger underlying issue? Just want to make sure that I have everything correctly set up.
- As there is no scope of adding code for SharePoint site app, cannot use showLoadingIndicator.
If showLoadingIndicator is enabled, you must handle other steps to make it work. Here is the reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/tabs/how-to/create-tab-pages/content-page#show-a-native-loading-indicatorThank you Subba_Reddi_Tummuru for an explanation. I found the instructions in the reference very helpful.
- Nikitha-MSFT: Setting "showLoadingIndicator": to false worked. Thanks so much. Steve
