I checked my extension which is working great on all versions.

Please help me to sort out this error.

Answer 1

Try next:

1. Log in to Magento Admin panel
2. From the Admin panel, select System > Magento Connect > Package Extensions.
3. On Package Info section, add extension name in Name field, for example my_stackoverflow
4. Fill all other fields, use this guide: http://info.magento.com/rs/magentocommerce/images/packagingmagentoconnectextensions6%200.pdf

When extension will be packed, go to /path/to/magento/var/connect/ folder and you'll see my_stackoverflow-1.0.0.tgz file. This file should be upload on Magento connect site.

Answer 2

I got the solution.Actually package name should be same as your extension key name.In my case extension key at magento connect was "test_data" and package name in package.xml file was "Test_Data". I just change the package name and extension uploaded successfully.
