Issue
It's been days since I've been trying to deploy with no avail using GitLab CI/CD to Heroku via a local GitLab Runner on Windows PowerShell (job log snippet below):

The problem happens right when it reaches the "uploading application archive" step. Any help would be appreciated.
Solution
On Windows, curl can have difficulties with quotes meant for a Linux environment.
In your case, using a WSL2 Linux environment for your GitLab runner (installed through the relevant package) might be easier to debug/make it run.
check also if you have to remove/re-login your Heroku application.
