Hi,

I’m trying to upload my plugin but every time im getting the error: No extension found in ZIP file.  
No plugin was found in the zip archive: /tmp/archive.zipS6WqqQ

I zipped by a NodeJS script, the default MacOS compress and the terminal command zip… Anyone knows what to do?

NodeJS script… Does not sound like a proper Shopware plugin.

bin/console plugin:create abc

As I mentioned I tried also zipping it with NodeJS, doesn’t mean the plugin itself is made with it

I see, got it wrong.

You cannot use the MacOS zip since it is a Apple interpretation of zip, that does not support all headers. Use Keka or other free programs from the Mac AppStore, then it should work.

Hi, I might be late but I had the same problem.  
What worked for me was using terminal with the following command:

`zip -r Plugin.zip PluginDirectory -x '**/.DS_Store' -x '__MACOSX'`

Hope it is still helpful
