Explanation

QRadar's App Framework requires applications to be packaged as .zip files when uploading through the QRadar Console - this is the only supported format for deploying extensions via the Extension Management tool.

• .tgz is a common Linux archive format and is used internally by QRadar during app build processes, but it is not the format you upload through the Console UI.
• .sh is a shell script, which has no role in QRadar's app packaging or upload mechanism.
• .exe is a Windows executable and is entirely incompatible with QRadar's Linux-based environment.

Memory tip: Think "zip it and ship it" - QRadar apps are zipped for the Console, just like browser extensions (Chrome, Firefox) which also use .zip-based packaging. If you can remember that web/platform extensions tend to use .zip, you'll anchor this fact reliably.
