@tt-gideonaryeetey, @divinetettey - are you interested in picking this one up? 👍

[tt-gideonaryeetey]

@JamieSlome Yes! I'll take care of it. Please assign it to me.

@tt-gideonaryeetey - since merging #575 and release in #577, it appears that the issue remains? Can you verify?

[tt-gideonaryeetey]

@JamieSlome The issue remains. It appears the build directory was ignored by the npm registry. We need to add an empty .npmignore file to override .gitignore. That way the build directory would not be ignored.
I will do that and create a PR. Thanks!
