Unable to publish VSIX to the Marketplace "The package contains an invalid VSIX manifest file"

Hello,

We're using Azure Publish VSIX task that started failing today:

VSSDK: error VsixPub0029 : An error occurred while communicating with the marketplace: UploadFile: The package contains an invalid VSIX manifest file. This VSIX does not apply to any product installed on this machine. The problem could be that the VSIX manifest's format is not recognized, or that the manifest has been corrupted.

We have made no changes to the manifest and it was already uploaded successfully to the Marketplace in the past.
A quick search shows this exact issue on stackoverflow, also reported today: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70840594/cannot-publish-visual-studio-extension-vsixpub0029-error

Is there a solution for this?
