App.yaml file is not detected in the root or .do directory

I have a GitHub repo with a backend and a frontend application (both run in a docker container) and an app.yaml file in the .do subdirectory (it was in root before) and a docker-compose.yml in the root directory.

When I try to create an app the app.yaml and providing no sub directory the app.yaml is not detected and I receive an “No components detected:” error message.

I could deploy the backend and the frontend in two apps but I want a combined deployment.

What I am missing? Why does the deployment assistant does not detect the app.yaml file? (I have included the content at the end).

Kind regards,

Peter
