| Can't retrieve package metadata. We're unable to retrieve metadata for the package version you specified. Retrieving package metadata is available to converted 2GP package versions only. If the package you specified is a converted 2GP package, try creating a new package version, and then retry retrieving the package metadata for the new package version. If your package is a 1GP, start by converting the package to 2GP, and then retry retrieving metadata from the converted 2GP package version. | ||
| Can't retrieve package metadata. Package metadata is only generated for converted 2GP package versions and versions created with the --dev-use-pkg-zip flag. To resolve, create a new package version and retry. For native 2GP packages, include the --dev-use-pkg-zip flag when creating the version. If your package is a 1GP, first convert it to 2GP. |

I think this message needs to be adjusted a bit. Two questions:
--dev-use-pkg-zipis not the name of the flag in the plugin-packaging PR. Did you mean--dev-use-pkg-zip?- Since this is in the typescript library (not the plugin) should we mention the CLI flag? Should we mention the
generatepkgzipoption instead?

I originally named the flag --dev-use-pkg-zip, but I updated the flag to be --generate-pkg-zip instead. I just forgot to change the docs over here. I'll update.

What does this PR do?
This PR is part of a work item that exposes the Package2VersionCreateRequest.IsDevUsePkgZipRequested field through the CLI. In this PR, we add the parameter to the version create request object. This allows users to specify if they want to create a version of their native 2GP package with dev zips generated.
