Appcenter-cli: What URLs need to be whitelisted for 'appcenter distribute release' command?

[malwatte]

Release of new app version fails,
command
appcenter distribute release -g "Internal Testers" -f "1.apk" -r "Test release note" -a "{{app}}"
Output
Error: failed to create release upload for 1.apk

I am working inside a corporate network. Same command works fine when I bypass the corporate network. I want to know the URLs being called when I do the appcenter distribute release command. Then I can give the list of URLs to company IT team and ask them to whitelist those URLs.

Thanks.

Hi @malwatte

The urls being used for that command should all be on the https://api.appcenter.ms subdomain.

I hope talking to your IT team about this URL will bring you a step closer to having a working solution.

@maxxkrakoa
Thanks. I'll work with IT team and get it whitelisted.
Hopefully it should fix the issue.

Hey @amchew
I'm getting the same error while uploading IPA to the appcenter.

Step 1/1: DeployIPAToAppCenter (Command Line) (6s)
[Step 1/1] Starting: /Work/Tools/temp/agentTmp/custom_script915767146824669477

[Step 1/1] Process exited with code 3 (Step: DeployIPAToAppCenter (Command Line))
[Step 1/1] Step DeployIPAToAppCenter (Command Line) failed

I've double checked app and organization name. I'm using following command:

appCenter login --token %api_token%
appCenter distribute release -f lib/%profile%/app.something.iOS.ipa -g Group-QA -a Org-Name/App-Name

I'm able to upload android APK with similar command.

Thanks

Hey all, I have faced this today and the reason in my case - the app was of Release Type = Store. Changed it to Enterprise and then it worked. Hope this may help someone to save his time.

Seems like the error " _failed to create release upload for ..._ " is not descriptive enough and there are multiple reasons that may lead to it leaving the user guessing "why?".

Also, I was really surprised that I no longer can upload the build to the app that was uploading the builds through HockeyApp just fine, haven't stumbled upon any of such information around the web, meanwhile I have read through several related MS docs before starting my trials with AppCenter...
