You may try to edit the appSlug from https://appcenter.ms/users/[username]/apps/TestApp to [username]/TestApp.

According to the following documentation:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/distribution/vsts-deploy

After you've created the connection between Azure DevOps and App Center, Azure DevOps needs to know which app you want to distribute the signed build to. You can find the app slug by going to your project on App Center, and extracting it based on https://appcenter.ms/users/{username}/apps/{app_identifier}. For example, the app slug for https://appcenter.ms/users/vigimm/apps/SkyTube is vigimm/Skytube.

Also, the description of argument in App Center Distribute task indicates:

Answer 2

Also make sure, you're using the latest version of this task. The 404 error I had was due to the underlying API for this task changing.

Mine was still trying to use /v0.1/apps/{user/org}/{appname}/release_uploads.

Newer version uses the correct /v0.1/apps/{user/org}/{appname}/releases.

According to Microsoft:

... ensure that you are using the 3.173.0 version or newer.
