Connecting custom app to teams using teams toolkit

Question

I want to connect my snowflake bot, which is hosted by snowflake, and can be accessed through snowflake Api, to integrate with teams, for which I am using team's toolkit. it works on my local fine, but when I deploy, I get error of something went wrong. I am using upload app option, to upload the appPackage.dev.zip in teams, also I found its giving me error when I click deploy from vs code, stating that I haven't given bot_id . I don't want azure bot services , as my Ai is already deployed on snowflake. Error when clicked Deploy button in vs code, [azureAppServiceZipDeploy.MissingEnvironmentVariablesError]: The program cannot proceed as the following environment variables are missing: 'BOT_AZURE_APP_SERVICE_RESOURCE_ID', which are required for file: c:\Tools\Bot_teams\bot_teams_integration\teamsapp.yml. Make sure the required variables are set either by editing the .env file 'c:\Tools\Bot_teams\bot_teams_integration\env.env.dev' with the correct names and values , or by setting the system environment variables with the correct names and values. If you are developing with a new project created with Teams Toolkit, running provision or debug will register correct values for these environment variables.

Error when uploaded in Microsoft team's app, using zip ,

"Something went wrong". its still working fine in my local though. Thanks in advance

1. Error when deploying from VS Code:
   • The error message [azureAppServiceZipDeploy.MissingEnvironmentVariablesError]: The program cannot proceed as the following environment variables are missing: 'BOT_AZURE_APP_SERVICE_RESOURCE_ID' indicates that certain environment variables are missing. These variables are required for the deployment process.
   • To resolve this, you need to ensure that the required environment variables are set correctly. You can do this by editing the .env file located at c:\Tools\Bot_teams\bot_teams_integration\env.env.dev with the correct names and values, or by setting the system environment variables with the correct names and values.
2. Error when uploading the app package in Microsoft Teams:
   • The "Something went wrong" error when uploading the appPackage.dev.zip file in Teams could be due to several reasons. One common issue is related to the manifest file or the app package itself.
   • Ensure that the manifest file is correctly configured and that all required fields are filled out. You might want to validate the manifest file using the Teams App Studio or the Teams Toolkit.
3. Bot not responding after upload:
   • If the bot works locally but does not respond after being uploaded, it could be an issue with the bot's configuration or the connection between Teams and the bot.
   • Double-check the bot's endpoint and ensure that it is accessible from Teams. You might also want to verify the bot's registration and authentication settings.

Here are a few steps you can follow to troubleshoot and resolve these issues:

Check Environment Variables:

• Open the .env file located at c:\Tools\Bot_teams\bot_teams_integration\env.env.dev.
  • Ensure that the BOT_AZURE_APP_SERVICE_RESOURCE_ID and other required environment variables are set correctly.

1. Validate Manifest File:
   • Use the manifest validator to validate the manifest file.
   • Ensure that all required fields are filled out and that the manifest file is correctly configured.
   Verify Bot Endpoint:
   • Ensure that the bot's endpoint is accessible from Teams.
     • Verify the bot's registration and authentication settings.
2. Test Locally:
   • Test the bot locally using the Bot Framework Emulator to ensure that it is working as expected.
