Added additional troubleshooting steps for deploying Spark.

Why:

The instructions did not work for me in any codespaces. I tried many ways to deploy, and the current latest version of the npm is not fully working as described. At some point it may be fine, but for the time being runtime.config.json must exist and --app must be used matching it. The npm package isn't open source so I can't fix it. :(

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Check off the following:

  • A subject matter expert (SME) has reviewed the technical accuracy of the content in this PR. In most cases, the author can be the SME. Open source contributions may require an SME review from GitHub staff.
  • The changes in this PR meet the docs fundamentals that are required for all content.
  • All CI checks are passing and the changes look good in the review environment.
