I have a Forge app with a Jira admin page that should display a React UI form. After running forge deploy, the UI doesn’t show up properly in Jira. In production, I only see placeholder text, and in development environments, nothing displays at all.

**Goal:** We want to view and interact with our custom admin page UI whenever we access it through Jira Settings → Apps → [Our App Name].

**Current Behavior:**

**In Production:**

- Navigate to: Jira Settings → Apps → “Velocity Onboarding”

- **Expected:** Full React form with text fields and submit button

- **Actual:** Shows placeholder text or minimal content (not the full UI)

**In Development (Velocity\_env):**

- Same navigation path

- **Expected:** Full React form

- **Actual:** Blank page or no UI elements visible

**No errors in:**

- forge lint output

- Deployment logs

- Webpack build output

### **What We’ve Tried:**

- ✅ Rebuilt UI multiple times

- ✅ Deployed to both production and development

- ✅ Verified ui/build/ directory contains all files

- ✅ Checked manifest.yml syntax with forge lint

- ✅ Confirmed app is installed on Jira site

- ❌ Still not seeing the UI render in Jira

We are new to using forge etc and are trying to see if we can create a basic simple application that can connect to jira and view jira tickets. Any help would be much appreciated 🙂
