Hi,
I have updated /default/app.conf and increased the Version and Build values. Tar'd the folder up and attempted to use the Splunkbase admin portal to update the release. When I upload the tar.gz file I receive the following error:
"No "app.conf" file was not found the "default" directory"
Although, the tarball clearly has this file and it passes AppInspect tests showing the correct version in the AI report.

Hi @csyvenky,
As @tkomatsubara_splunk mentioned make sure the permissions on your files are right before creating the tarball.
Also make sure your tarball doesn't contain multiple levels, it could be that when you untar it you need to go down two levels before reaching your local and default folders.
Make sure you've got the following right :

Thanks for the feedback folks, I got it working. The suggestions forced me to triple check. Although I didn't have a permission issue, I did have a folder level issue. I grabbed my tar command from the README which includes a period - as a result of running the command with a period at the end I also ended up with an unneeded folder.
This is what I was running:
tar --exclude='/.git' -czvf .tar.gz /.
Which resulted in this:
tar -zxvf .tar.gz
/./default/app.conf.

You're welcome ! As I mentioned, it's always either permissions or this folder level thingy...
Feel free to accept the answer or convert your comment and accept it 🙂

It looks like there is permission issue. If you are using linux, please take a look into the permissions.

I’m building on OSX - thought I validated that permissions matched all other files. Didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.
I don't have a local folder, only default.
