Teams applications: Auto-suggestions actions are automatically opened in our chat - botframework

When we open the Teams applications with a chat the auto-suggestions menu is automatically opened.
Are there any way to disable it?
We tried it for few different MS Teams apps and it is reproduced for all.
It is reproduced in ~90% cases.
We started facing it recently and didn't remember such behaviour before.
Steps to reproduce:
Open app with chat
Expected result:
Auto-suggestion menu is not opened
Actual result:
Auto-suggestion menu is opened

This seems to be expected behaviour of Bot having commands. These bot commands will pop up automatically. There is no way to disable it

Bot conversation works in desktop Teams app but not supporrted in iOS

I have a simple bot that has one command, and also responds to messages by echoing them back.
In desktop Teams, a command menu is displayed and the bot allows interaction.
In the iOS Teams app, there is no command menu and there is a message at the bottom of the chat tab saying "Conversation with this bot is not supported".
Is there a something specific that I need to do to allow this to work in iOS?
Removing the existing app and reinstalling the Teams iOS app resolved the issue.

Check developer console in MS teams Tab App

I have created a personal Tabs app and deployed the same on MS teams.
Things are working as expected, but at 1 stage of time, my application goes back to the original "contentUrl" page as defined in the manifest.json file.
This might be an issue with my frontend code, so i wanted to understand how can we debug the frontend developer console to check if there's any error being thrown from my application?
The only way to figure out what is going on is to use the DevTools. To use DevTools in the desktop client, you must:
Ensure you have enabled developer preview.
Open up a tab so you have something to inspect with the DevTools.
Open the DevTools one of the following ways:
On Windows, you open DevTools via the Microsoft Teams icon in the
desktop tray.
The following example shows DevTools open and inspecting a tab configuration dialog:

How to avoid There Was a Problem Reaching This App Error When Launching Pinned App from Teams Desktop Client

Starting ~2 weeks ago (around Sep 14th, 2021) many of our customers have started to report problems launching any PINNED apps from their desktop teams client. Web chat Teams client can launch pinned Apps fine. Apps are pinned as part of a set up policy in Teams Admin Portal, in this case a Global Set up Policy.
Jira App is shown below as an example but it is happening for all pinned aps, at least ones with a chat tab (bot).
If you click on the ... below the app list on the left navigation rail and launch the app in that manner the error goes away.
The error does not prevent messaging to and from the app, just that it stop the users since they believe there is a problem. Clicking on retry does not do anything.
Are there any recent changes to Manifest files that may need to be addressed to avoid this pop over error?
Previous articles from Feb had recommended disabling Loading Indicator in Manifest files. That does not seem to have any impact on this situation.
This issue is being tracked on github. Please visit this for updates on Problem reaching the app issue.

Can't access my Apps page in MS Teams (and update my custom app)

I'm trying to make a MS Teams app using the following guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/nl-nl/learn/modules/embedded-web-experiences/3-exercise-create-custom-teams-personal-tab
I managed to add my app to MS Teams and got it to work.
However, when I updated the code, deleted the app in MS Teams and tried adding the updated version, it would give me a Something went wrong notification.
Now, I'm not able to open the App Studio app or the Apps page. It'll just non-stop load, but nothing shows up.
Things that I've tried
Restart MS Teams
Restart MS Teams in admin mode
Under %AppData%\Microsoft\Teams clear the following folders: blob_storage, Cache and GPUCache
Expected result
When I click the Apps button, the Apps page should open and show me all the apps, so I can navigate and add my own custom app.
Actual result
Pressing App Studio button does nothing. The button will be in a "pressed" state, but nothing shows up
I'm experiencing this also - my suspicion is Teams is being affected by the very large volume of users working remotely, and certain portions are being, let's say, "stress tested" more than usual.

How to develop Microsoft Teams app for "App Bar and home screen"

I would like to create an application for Microsoft Teams but I don't understand what capability I have to exploit.
I would like the application to be called up from the application bar and opened to full screen.
The same behavior that occurs for the "App Studio" application.
I need to bring something that is not accessible, either by chat or tea; the app should manage a flow in a personal window.
I looked at the manifest definition document but found nothing.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/resources/schema/manifest-schema
I would like to replicate the application behavior like AppStudio or Microsoft Planner, to name a few.
For example App Studio
A possible alternative, could be to insert a button in the chats and open a popup with the configuration page.
I saw this behavior for the AzureDevOps extension.
Unfortunately this also seems to be a capability not available.

Do you have any idea how to do it?
Thanks a lot
