Private Channel Package Code

What are the differences between coding on your Roku Box and the package for a private channel?

I have channel working on my personal box, but when I went to upload to a private channel I received the message: "The uploaded package file format is invalid."

Is this a problem with the zip software I'm using, or a slight difference in the directory structure for how I have to package things?

    Are you packaging the channel before trying to upload it? You cannot upload the zip file as is.

    Read through the Channel Packaging and Publishing Guide in the SDK, specifically section 3 for details on how to do that.

    Ah. That makes sense. I figured it was a step I missed someplace.
