App catalog - Site collection vs root site collection scope question

Question

I have a SPFx web part which I downloaded from Images and Videos in a Carousel.

I don't have access to the root site collection app catalog so I added it to a site collection catalog I newly created. But I can't see the app appear on site pages after I uploaded it to the new site collection catalog (not the root site).

Does this matter?

Does it depends if the SPFx package was built for root site collection only?

Answer 1

You can manually upload and publish/deploy the .sppkg file in any app catalog. If there is any error in deploying the package it should show error message in apps library. If there is no error then it should work on site collection.

Also, make sure you have Site collection administrator privileges on both the tenant level app catalog & site collection app catalog to deploy the package.
