Error: Maximum display name length is 255 bytes and/or maximum description length is 4KB

Hi,

When I try to add my app, I get this error message:
Error: Maximum display name length is 255 bytes and/or maximum description length is 4KB

However; this is the contents of my app.properties

# Required fields
displayName=REST sample
description=Simple demo on how to use REST
releaseNumber=1
minimumClientVersion=1
# Make sure the type is an app!
type=app

Any idea why this error is thrown?

Are you using Internet Explorer? You may get a more specific (or different) error in another browser. You can also check the tomcat logs for a stack trace which should have more details.

Please let us know if you find anything!

It seems I forgot to end my .zip name with _version.
I added _1 to the zip filename and now it works.
Btw...Chrome showed me a different error indeed.
IE throws an error about the app name.
Chrome throws an error "Error: App name rest-sample-app-v3 is missing version number or app name. Filename must be _.zip" which solved the issue

For reference, even the correct error message, as reported by chrome, is a little mangled; it should read "...Filename must be <app name>_<version>.zip"
