This part of the tutorial is no longer working.
As such, it only hampers someone trying to work through the tutorial.
Even following the suggestions in https://github.com/apollographql/apollo/issues/264, I was not able to create a successful deployment. (If I had, I would have opened a PR to fix the instructions.)
Since this seems to be producing a more negative experience than positive, I suggest removing this part of the tutorial until working instructions become available.
Update some documentation around using the apollo command.
For a new project, service:check will fail, so we should only recommend
that after we know they've published once.
