Outline: when uploading a generated zip file to hockeyapp, the step fails with nothing in the log.
In VSTS I have this build setup
The arguments sent to msbuild is
/p:AppxBundlePlatforms="$(BuildPlatform)" /p:AppxPackageDir="$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\AppxPackages\" /p:AppxBundle=Always /p:UapAppxPackageBuildMode=StoreUpload
It builds fine, and creates my artifacts:
Nothing wrong here. It is like i want it.
But something goes wrong when I try to release the _Test folder to HokeyApp. This is how my release setup
The zip step is doing the zip fine. Creates the zip file, but when it reaches the HokeyApp step, it fails after 10-15 seconds. Here is how I have setup the hockeyapp step:
I have tried to upload the appxupload artifact, and it allows me to do so, but I dont want that. I want the zipped _Test artifact uploaded. The hokeyapp step log gives me nothing

How is this possible? Shouldnt I be able to upload the .zip file to HokeyApp? I can upload the _Test zip file, if I do it through VS.
I am doing something wrong here? I have used quite some time on this, so any suggestions would be appreciated!!
Here is the whole release log , just in case

Even if i specify the zip file directly, not using the *.zip, in the hockeyapp step, it gives me the same result.
What really annoys me is the that HockeyApp task step log shows me NOTHING :) Maybe I am building it wrong? Or? Am I doing something that is not possible yet with the hockeyapp task?
I really hope someone can help me.
