How to add a SAP UI5 application to Fiori Launchpad? - sapui5

Question

I have a MTA project and I am trying to add the UI5 application to the Fiori Launchpad. But currently, the tiles do not show up. Instead when I check the console, I see that the target mapping has not been done properly. Can you please suggest where I do the target mapping.
This is the error I receive -
The following is the manifest file of GroupManage app. There are other apps/tiles such as quickLoader, messageBuilder etc.

Have you created the tiles in the launchpad manager ?
Is this on prem or on the cloud ?
This blog covers MTA sorry, missed that part of your question:- https://blogs.sap.com/2018/10/29/develop-your-first-sap-fiori-launchpad-site-with-portal-service-on-sap-cloud-platform-multi-cloud-chapter-2/
This blog shows you how to set it up for on prem with some great easy to follow screen shots https://blogs.sap.com/2017/11/19/sap-fiori-ui5-app-configuration-in-sap-fiori-launchpad/
