Manually deploy the SP Starter Kit .sppkg SPFx solution to the tenant App Catalog

The SP Starter Kit deployment process will automatically rebuild and deploy the included SPFx solution to your tenant app catalog. You can also pre-deploy sharepoint-starter-kit.sppkg from the /package folder manually to the tenant app catalog, as well as 'manually approve the requested permissions`.

Pre-requirements

1. You will need tenant admin access.

2. You will already have to have created an Application Catalog from your SharePoint Admin Center. Note: A newly created app catalog may take a few minutes to a few hours to fully provision.
