Hi @IvanZosimov ! It’s working fine with this change. Thank you very much!

Hi, @miroiu 👋 Try not to push your secret APY key into the environment variable, but instead use the secret inside the dotnet nuget push command like that:

   - name: Publish the package 
      run: dotnet nuget push "*/bin/Release/*.nupkg" -k ${{ secrets.NUGET_KEY }} -s https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json  

I’m going to close this issue now, if you have any additional questions feel free to ping us.
