Excited to try this! Right now the site isn't allowing a sideload. "Could not find a top-level .pdx file."

Tried unzipping and re-zipping the file and somehow that worked. This is looking really promising!

yeah, it’s really weird. If you find something to fix that please let me know!

This worked for me too. I unzipped and re-compressed on my iPhone and was able to then upload successfully :)

Unzipping and re-zipping allowed it to get by the online sideloading, but nothing happens when I try to install it manually on the playdate. It'll say it installs, but I can back out and check again and it will go back to showing as uninstalled.

I found what’s causing the issue, working on a fix

I fixed it! The power shell script that compressed the build used a compression algorithm not recognized by the play date website, so instead of having a script automatically compress the build, I do it manually every commit :)
