I am trying to upload an executable binary file to release but it is getting uploaded as a normal file and not as an executable. Any help on how to fix it? Or is it not possible to do?

Does it behave differently if you upload it manually?
Whether a binary file is "executable" depends on your browser's settings and the server-provide mime-type and/or file extension.
I think binary files attached to releases always download with mime type application/octet-stream (small sample set, i could be very wrong), in which case maybe the file extension has more say in determining how your client treats it.

There was an error on my part. It Works!
