Elastic Beanstalk has error with .NET Core files zipped on mac

Question

I am having issues with Elastic Beanstalk and my .NET Core web service that I'm attempting to build and deploy from my mac.  
  
I downloaded the dotnet-core-tutorial-bundle.zip from this page: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/dotnet-core-tutorial.html and confirmed that I can upload and deploy this zip.  
  
When I unzip that folder using Finder and rezip using Finder or the zip command line tool, the deployment fails with message "Error during deployment: Application test-dotnet-core is missing web.config file."  
  
I downloaded the same zip on a Windows computer, unzipped using Explorer, and rezipped using Explorer and the deployment succeeds.  
  
Does anyone know a way to zip on a mac that will make Elastic Beanstalk happy? I did find several tutorials and forum posts that indicated that the commands I am running to zip have worked in the past.  
  
My zip script:

```
zip -r -X site.zip site/
zip my-service.zip site.zip aws-windows-deployment-manifest.json
```

Mac's zip function was adding an extra site folder to my archive. This isn't the most beautiful script but it works.

```
dotnet publish -o site -c Release
cd site
zip -r -X ../site.zip .
cd ..
zip my-service.zip site.zip aws-windows-deployment-manifest.json
```
