Hi @amratef503092

Seems your publishing wasn't successful and didn't complete, judging from the text in this error

_Error: Failed to create release upload for /Users/builder/clone/build/app/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab. Backend response: internal error_

Hence, your post-publish script might likely return that error. However, here is how you can write your script to achieve your goal

` scripts:

- name: Publish to App Center
  
  script: | 
    #!/usr/bin/env zsh

    echo 'Installing App Center CLI tools'

    npm install -g appcenter-cli

    echo "Publishing $ipaPath to App Center"

    appcenter distribute release \

        --group Collaborators \

        --file $ARTIFACT_PATH \

        --release-notes 'App submission via Codemagic' \

        --app $ORGANIZATION_NAME/$APP_CENTER_APP_NAME \

        --token $APP_CENTER_TOKEN \

        --quiet`

You can follow this link for better clarification

Also, please be reminded that Appcenter has been shut down since March 31, 2025, except for the Analytics and Diagnostics features, which will continue to be supported until June 30, 2026. Let us know why you still want to publish to App Center. this can help on how to assist you further

Thank you

Hi @amratef503092,

Checking in for your response

However, I can reproduce the issue from my end, and I also found that the issue was caused by the Appcenter, which is already shut down.

Mind trying other alternatives such as AWS and others via codemagic, to confirm a successful publishing

I'll be closing our thread for now.

If you have any more concerns, please feel free to reply or start a new conversation.

Happy Building!
