How do I get the Compose Extension Ellipsis button to show up with a custom side-loaded Microsoft Teams app?

I'm trying to learn how to create a Microsoft Teams app following their getting started guide:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/get-started/get-started-nodejs#ComposeRichMessages

Using the source code from here: https://github.com/OfficeDev/msteams-samples-hello-world-nodejs

I also read the specific docs here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/messaging-extensions

I have the app configured and packaged and side-loaded. The tabs and bot are functioning normally. However, the compose extension ellipsis button never shows up.

Supposedly, all I should need to do is set the correct botId in the composeExtensions section of the manifest.json. I did that, but it's still not showing up.

I have no clue how to troubleshoot this.

Thanks!

According to the docs...

Important

messaging extensions are available only in Public Developer Preview. Many details in this document are subject to change.
