I don't use yarn. So, the link you are presenting is not valid for me.

The appcenter-cli has the dependence to punnycode https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter-cli/blob/master/appcenter-file-upload-client-node/package-lock.json#L2311 The warning appears when I run the appcenter-cli.

I am also having the issue that @aliaksandr-s-customgamesstudio-com is reporting, and I also do not use YARN, this is a dependency of AppCenter CLI that is apparently depricated.
