+### -SkipUrlValidation
+When provided, the site collection app catalog Urls will not be validated for if they have been renamed since their creation. This makes the cmdlet a lot faster, but it could also lead to URLs being returned that no longer exist. If not provided, for each site collection app catalog, it will look up the actual URL of the site collection app catalog and return that instead of the URL that was used when the site collection app catalog was created.
