Deploying the Application Customizer
The Application Customizer is one of those SPFx extensions that can be deployed either at the tenant level or at the site collection level. In the SPFx solution that we have, it is configured to be deployed at the tenant level.
When the .sppkg file (packt-solutions-product-management.sppkg) is added to the app catalog site of the tenant and is enabled at the time of deployment, the Application Customizer (in this case, PacktProductApplicationCustomizer) gets enabled across all the sites in the tenant. This can be seen by navigating to the Packt site or any other site in the tenant.

As part of the deployment, an entry for the Application Customizer is created in a list called Tenant Wide Extensions in the app catalog site. This list contains the entries for the tenant-wide deployed extensions, and the properties of the extensions can be controlled from this list.
