In this blog, we will create an app catalog site in SharePoint Online in 3 simple steps. 

What is App catalog?

1. As a SharePoint or global admin in Microsoft 365, you can create an App Catalog site to make internally developed custom apps (say SPFx) available for users to install when they browse apps under the From Your Organization filter on the Site Contents page.
2. The App Catalog is a site with the purpose of making apps (internally developed or third-party) available for users to install.

Steps to Create an App Catalog Site

Step 1 Go to your SharePoint Admin Center –> On the left navigation select More Features –> Scroll down and select Open under App,
