Is it possible to push a zip file to app center through azure pipeline?

Question

I tried following

- task: AppCenterDistribute@3
  inputs:
    serverEndpoint: 'AppCenter-Connection'
    appSlug: 'Organisation/TestHarness'
    appFile: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/$(Build.BuildNumber).zip'
    releaseNotesOption: 'input'
    releaseNotesInput: 'Build $(Build.BuildNumber)'
    destinationType: 'groups'

But I get the error

##[error]"{\"error\":\"Error: Missing required params from body: build_version, Service id: f734ab18-06ca-4882-a3fb-14cc2a7897897\"}"

Answer 1

It's able to push a zip file. If you using platform which is WPF or WinForms. Please add build Version explicitly:

buildVersion

(Optional) The build version of the uploading binary which needs to be specified for .zip and .msi. This value will be ignored unless the platform is WPF or WinForms.

Otherwise, take a look at this similar issue here: Missing required params from body. Seems the issue is related to signing.

Kindly check if the solution in above link such as fix code signing/create a plist file also work for you.
