User reports a failure when uploading a theme via a REST Theme API call from their app. The API returns a validation error stating the ZIP “does not contain a valid theme: missing template ‘layout/theme.liquid’.”
Key detail: The error specifically references the required template path “layout/theme.liquid,” indicating the upload check is failing on that file’s presence/location.
The user asserts the ZIP includes all necessary contents, suggesting a discrepancy between the archive contents and what the API expects.
No fixes, decisions, or outcomes were provided; the thread is currently unresolved.
Central artifact: The error message code snippet is crucial for understanding the issue.
