    There are various reasons for this type error:

    1. The archive is corrupt.
      Solution - The archive will need repairing.
    2. It is not a .zip archive.
      It may be a .rar or other compressed type.
      Solution - Have to find a correct archive to use this code.
    3. There is more than 1 part to the archive.
      A multi part zip file.
      Solution - Read in all the files before decompression.
    4. The file may be hidden or have extended characters in the name.
      Solution - Check your file attributes/permissions and verify the file name.

    Opening the file with your favorite zip/unzip utility (7-zip, winzip, etc) will tell which of these it could be.

    Thanks,

    The reason is that the option --data in curl pass the data using the content-type application/x-www-form-urlen‐coded.

    The endpoint is prepared for receiving the data in binary format.

    To fix this use --data-binary option, like that:

    curl --data-binary @appPackage.zip -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" -H "Content-length: 35776" -H "Content-type: application/zip" -X POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/appCatalogs/teamsApps
