Manifest issue with:No-code solution to expose SharePoint pages in Microsoft Teams as a personal app
I have been trying out Vesa's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G73jxqtjuIE . In my version of App Studio running in the web client, the system auto creates and about tab.
The intranet tab is as per the video, albeit a page on my dev tenant. Unfortunately, the about tab is non editable and can't be deleted in the UI . When I try to upload the application file, I get the following error:
Error while reading manifest.json: "staticTabs[0].name" is required
"staticTabs[0].contentUrl" is required
When I extact the manifest file, I can remove the About entry ( see below) , re-assemble the package and upload again . However, this just generates an exception. Is there something I am missing and, or have outstanding demo god debts 🤔?

Update as staticTabs as below and re-upload the solution.
"staticTabs": [ { "entityId": "Home Tab", "name": "Home", "contentUrl": "https://<your-tenant>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/teamslogon.aspx?SPFX=true&dest=/sites/SPDemo", "websiteUrl": "https://<your-tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/SPDemo", "scopes": [ "personal" ] } ]

Unfortunately for me this hasn't worked

Tomorrow I will repeat on my other tenant.
One thing I forgot to mention,
After you re-zip the package, don't import the zip in App Studio > Manifest editor > Import an existing app.
Rather, upload it as a custom app (like shown below) and it works.
I am too facing the same issue. This seems to be a recent issue with MS Teams. It is adding an extra non-editable "about" tag and causing the issue.
