Uploading Zip to Phonegap Using PowerShell Invoke-RestMethod - powershell

Question

I'm trying to write a PowerShell script to have a one click solution to uploading and building my mobile application. I have successfully done this using cURL but was trying to use native PowerShell commands instead. In cURL I can use the -F (--form) parameter and pass the zip file (e.g. -F file=#C:...\www.zip). I cannot figure out how to achieve this same thing using PowerShell. I am trying to use Invoke-RestMethod but not sure if this is correct. Here's a link to the PhoneGap API:
https://build.phonegap.com/docs/write_api
Any help would much appreciated!

Answer 1

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://build.phonegap.com/api/v1/apps/:id -Headers #{Authorization='Basic username-and-password-in-base64'} -Method Put -InFile "www.zip"
username-and-password-in-base64 is your Adobe/PhoneGap Build username and password combined into a string "username:password" and encoded using Base64 (http://www.base64decode.org/).
:id in the url is your app id in phonegap build.

Answer 2

Try something like this:
$pathToZip = "bin/phonegap.zip"
$user = "user"
$pass = "password"
## convert to secure password since we can't use get-credential in non interactive mode
$securepass = ConvertTo-SecureString $pass -AsPlainText -Force
## create a PSCredential object
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($user, $securepass)
$appId = "12345"
$url = "https://build.phonegap.com/api/v1/apps/" + $appId;
Write-Host $url
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Credential $credential -Method Put -InFile $pathToZip
