As I'm trying to upload an iPad application (XCode project) to HockeyApp with VSTS's build pipeline, it fails and returns following error message.

enter image description here

2018-07-30T10:37:57.0420460Z ##[error]Error: Failed to upload the package. HTTP status code: 422. Responce: {"status":"error","message":"Version could not be created from build. Please make sure that your .ipa file has the correct format."}

All other tasks in the pipeline such as applying certificate / provision profile / XCode build succeeds but it fails in the last Hockeyapp task.

Any idea what may be going wrong?

The root cause is : It cannot find the build version.

There is a limitation with the task when deploy zip files since zip files does not include the version information.

If you click on the icon after "Binary File Path", you'll find that it is used to deploy .apk, .ipa and .appx files. These kinds of files include a version in the packages. I suspect that it is a limitation with the task when deploy zip files since zip files does not include the version information. And when you deploy from Visual Studio, it requires you to enter the version manually.

As a workaround, you can use HockeyApp public API, upload the zip file into Hockey, write a PowerShell script to create and update version (Reference this script: UploadUWPToHockeyapp.ps1 ).

Reference the similar issue here : Getting error "Version could not be created from build" while deploying WPF app to Hockeyapp via VSTS
