Teams Deploy Tab

My Workflow

Teams Deploy Tab deploys Teams apps to the Teams store semi-automatically with the Microsoft Graph API. I only heard about this competition yesterday, and just released the Action now so it's not in use yet. But I'm hoping to use it to drive adoption of GitHub at my company, starting with a custom tab I finished yesterday!

I've heard from other OSS contributors that the complex deployment process puts them off building Teams apps. Hopefully this Action can help them!
