Build Failure creating Maven Zip for AWS device Farm - maven

Question

I'm getting a build failure when trying to create a zip for my Appium/selenium project. Any help would be appreciated.
I’m running this on MacOS HighSierra. I’m running this on MacOS HighSierra. Appium is version v1.10.1. The command I used to zip the file (or tried to use to zip the file) is in the first line from the terminal.This is the log from terminal:

Changing out my maven-dependency-plugin in the pom.xml with the one below fixed my build failures.
