Guidance for false positive reports with app with multiple files as parts of it

Hi, avast false positive upload form says that we can upload maximum 1 file in archive

However, “Sample Submission guide” says “Also, upload only complete files. Partially uploaded or broken files and delta-update files won’t be considered for analysis or whitelisting.”

So this means that Avast team needs to be able to test all app. My app is built with Flutter that creates a lot of build files for the app, including .dat and .so files with engine dll that are required for app to be launched

So the question is do i need to upload only the .exe file that can not be launched without engine and .so .dat files or i can upload all files in archive regardless of the warning that i can upload MAX 1 file in archive?

First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member.
You can use the World Icon to translate this reply.

If Avast is alerting on a specific .exe file, then that is what you should upload.

If it is alerting for multiple files, then it would need to be all.

There used to be a means of developers to have their digitally signed files whitelisted, I don’t know if this is still applicable.
