How to fix the package URL redirects to another URL, even if my url is in correct format?

I'm having trouble when distributing software using platforms like GitHub Releases, it's essential to provide users with direct download URLs that lead them directly to the intended file. However, despite ensuring that the URL format (https://github.com/username/repo/releases/download/v1.0.0/main.exe) is correct and should provide a direct download link, which I have done but it's showing an error

Hi @Krish Gaur ，

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Links from cloud storage like OneDrive and GitHub may not accepted by Store. I'd suggest you use a sever to host your package.

You could try to use DJ2Tech's solution- using google cloud: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/answers/questions/1133748/publish-application-on-microsoft-store

Thank you.
