"Register github app" won't work if the field homepage isn't present in package.json

Bug Report

Current Behavior

You'll get this very misleading error message telling that the URL field is missing in the payload, even though it is there

1. Before pressing the button
   

2. After
   

Expected behavior/code

It should work normally, like it does whenever I set the homepage field inside package.json.

Environment

• Probot version(s): v13.2.0
• Node/npm version: v18.19.1
• OS: 14.4.1 (23E224)

That URL parameter you are seeing is for webhooks.

GitHub requires a URL (homepage) for an app in order to register

Good to know... I probably missed that on the documentation, right?
