Uploading Plugin to atlassian jira via rest api

[Natarajan_Amsaveni]

I am following this documentation - https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/registering-apps/#installing-an-app-using-the-rest-api to upload my custom plugin through rest api call.

However its not getting uploaded, and i am getting 202 as response. 

One clarification i need regarding the jar file location- Can i keep my plugin jar in my local and give that location while hitting the post call ?

I am passing the below headers 

1. Using the actual host name and port and path for your target Atlassian application.
2. The token value should be the value of the upm-token header you just received. - yes 
3. In the request, set the Accept header to: "application/json"
4. Set the Content-Type for the data to: "application/vnd.atl.plugins.install.uri+json"
5. In the body,

{ "pluginUri": "${plugin-xml-url}",

"pluginName": "the app name" } 

Here, in the plugin-xml-url, should i pass my jar file location ? or atlassian-plugin-xml location? if so, can i have my jar file in my local and give that location ?

Any help is highly appreciated ! Thanks in Advance !

You should provide the "pluginUri" as the jar file location like so:
{"pluginUri": "file:/C:/your_plugin_name/target/name_of_jar.jar"}

At least for me, that worked. Here the uri is your local directory, where your plugin gets built i.e. the target directory after the maven build.
