Once logged in, you can select your org from the drop down and you should see your dashboard.
I believe you are seeing the spinning wheel perhaps because you previously logged out and there is a known defect that shows spinning wheel yet doesn't redirect you to log in. We expect the fix for this to be rolled out very soon.

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.

"App not found, Please verify..." when launching from Visual Studio, but installs normally from Developer Portal

I'm currently learning Teams development and I just installed the Teams Toolkit extension. Following the quickstart guide, launching the app opens my browser with the Teams web app and the message
App not found, Please verify the app and it's[sic] access
permissions.
Fortunately, this app can still be launched when selecting the "Preview in Teams" option in the Developer Portal.
Quoting the GettingStarted.txt:
If you Start Debugging in a browser and Teams shows the message "App not found, Please verify the app and it's access permissions", it means the app hasn't been uploaded to Teams Dev Portal. To resolve this, follow the steps in the Quick start section above. The Project > TeamsFx > Configure for SSO menu command will do this step for you.
Except it was successfully uploaded to Dev Portal.
What I did
Did this "Configure for SSO" thing. No problems with that and the app was successfully added to the Developer Portal.
Where I searched for an answer
VS Marketplace page for Teams Toolkit (Reviews, Q&A)
Github page (issues) for Teams Toolkit
This very site - Stack Overflow.
Obviously, I'm not 100% sure that I haven't missed anything.
Temporary solution
In the meantime, I set the "launchBrowser" property to "false" in launchSettings.json. However, it's a waste of time to constantly go back to the Developer Portal to launch it, especially when the functionality is there.
Visual Studio 2019, Microsoft Development Account.
Thanks in advance.
We tried to repro this issue at our end and it is working fine for us. Could you please make sure app is opened in same tenant with which you configured for SSO. Also please remove all credentials from cache to make sure its not taking another credentials and try again.
Assuming nothing else was changed from the new project template, there are a few things you can try to narrow down the issue.
Open your browsers web dev tools and watch the console after clicking the Add button (before you see the error message). Sometimes a useful error message from the developer portal helps identify the issue.
Verify that when Visual Studio launches the URL, the correct tenant is loaded in Teams.
Run the project in VS, then manually navigate in your browser to the endpoint of your tab that you expect to work. It would be something like https://localhost:44357/tab by default (the value is in the manifest.json). The sample won't work completely because it's not running inside Teams, but you should be able to verify it's working locally.
If none of that helps, please log an issue on the GitHub page and we can investigate a bug.

Changing anything in Marketplace SDK requires regrant of permissions

I am running into a recurring issue with the Marketplace Listing/SDK.
Anytime something minor is changed, the Contextual gadget disappears from the clients Gmail.
When we look at the Marketplace App in the clients Google Apps Admin everything is fine.
However if we go to "Data Access" and revoke permission and re-grant it, fairly soon the gadget will reappear.
This has to be done for any customer that has the App installed.
An example is fixing the issue described in the following link where we have to "check off" Enable individual Install.
"Integrate with Google" button disappeared
Google has made a change that means we need to adjust our settings and this whole "regrant" process is initiated.
Is this a bug or an undocumented feature? has anybody else encountered this???
Thanks for your input,
Paul C
This is caused by a known bug. We hope to have the fix in production next week.

Automatically logged out of all Google services periodically

I'm getting logged out of all Google services a set period after opening the browser or logging in, it's about 20 minutes, maybe less. Occasionally the log in page will automatically redirect to a "clear cache and cookies" help page, however following the instructions on this page changes nothing and a short time later it logs me out again. This is particularly annoying when writing a response to a review on the Google Play Developer Console, because as soon as it detects being logged out it greys the text box so that it's not possible to copy and paste the message and it is not saved as a draft, it has to be written again. It's important to note this happens regardless of the browser being used and regardless of whether or not you are logged in on multiple devices. This is something Google really need to fix. Has anyone else suffered these problems?
It appears I've found a solution, as an Android app developer I always have a bunch of tabs open such as Google Play Developer Console for reviews and statistics and Google Wallet for financial reports. It turns out the problem is related to Google Wallet because if I close this tab, it won't log me out of all Google services. It appears this is a bug with the Google Wallet service. So to clarify this is a bug with Google Wallet, so if you're experiencing this problem like me, always close this tab after viewing the reports (the one launched from the Play console under financial reports).

Google Marketplace App Install Flow

When installing a Google Marketplace App, the flow usually ends with the admin in the app's settings on Google with the option to sign in now. Is there a way to end with the user actually using the app (i.e. not having to click the link to sign in to start using the app)? Could the user just be sent to the app on the optional setup without returning to the app settings page on Google without that causing other problems?
Some of the documentation says:
We strongly recommend that the administrator be directed through a short, linear series of actions and returned to Google quickly so additional users can start using the application.
I tried testing this out, but it seems like there's some lag between installing and the app showing up in the "more" drop down for Google (I tried installing another app and did end up on the final page but the app still didn't show up in another account. It's been a few hours and it still isn't there) so it's hard to tell if it's just slow or not actually installed on other users' accounts.
Sorry the last section was misleading. This is not a question about the link not showing up immediately.
The new experience for Google Apps Marketplace lets you land the user in the app instead of the admin console. There's now a popup for the app to request permissions and to agree to terms and then the user ends up in the app. One-step installation. Good work Google.
