@DonJayamanne could you email to vsmarketplace@microsoft.com?
Is this is the extensions? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.jupyter

We managed to solve this issue. A .so file was incldued into the extension accidentally (due to python package) & we believe thats what caused the package to get rejected. Would be good to get a more meaningful message.

Thanks, closing as we have resolved this.

Re-opening as we're running into this yet again, & it would be good to know what's wrong with the package.
I've excluded *.so files, and still failing.
I have attached the file here.
ms-toolsai-jupyter-insiders.4.vsix.zip

Is this is the extensions? marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.jupyter
Yes

Will send the email as well.

@DonJayamanne looks like this was caused by a duplicate entry in the VSIX.

Validation failed because the VSIX contains a duplicate entry for a file only differing by casing.

Unzipping locally using 7-Zip triggered an alert trying to overwrite a file that just got extracted as part of the same operation (note the difference in casing here):

• BcryptGenRandom.exe
• BCryptGenRandom.exe

Modifying the VSIX to exclude one of these seems to have fixed the validation error.

The modified version was uploaded successfully to our test environment and could be installed in VS Code (requires v1.54.0 Insiders build though, as that’s what you’re targeting).

Thanks a lot.

@xavierdecoster Thanks, creating a separate issue to that the marketplace returns a more meaningful message in the future so we don't end up in this same situation, else it takes too long to diagnose the error.
