unable to retrieve app info

[mattsb42]

I love the idea of running this in an action; I actually found my way here because I have something in my settings config that is causing probot/settings to fail, but debugging that is incredibly frustrating since I can't get any negative feedback from the app.

Unfortunately, I've run into some fatal issues that are blocking me using this too.

When I attempt to run this, using a workflow definition essentially identical to the one in the readme[1], I get the following error: Probot is unable to retrieve app information from GitHub for event subscription verification[2].

Looking at where probot raises that error[3], it looks like this is caused by failing to get credentials. The comments talk about credentials needed when it is running as an app, but it's not clear to me (node is not my jam) whether it requires that or will work equally well with a github token as shown in this project's readme.

Any ideas what might be going on here?

@abhithakre, you might be interested in repo-manager[1]. After playing around with this project and Probot for a while I ended up making that to give a full native GitHub Actions experience.
