Hello,

I am following the documentation on building a jira app using the Atlassian Connect Express framework here: [Build a Jira app using a framework](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/build-a-jira-app-using-a-framework/)

After running the `npm start` command, I found that no app is installed on my jira instance.

When I try to install the app on Jira manually, I get an error complaining:

`Installation failed. The app requested authentication but did not specify a secure base URL (beginning with https://) in its descriptor.`

If I look at my atlassian-connect.json file on localhost, I see that the base URL in the atlassian-connect.json has a value of `"baseUrl":"http://mymachinehostname:3000"`

Is there a way to update the baseUrl to an https url by default?
