Integrating deployment of a Batch App Service into a continuous build

Question

We currently have TeamCity and Octopus Deploy setup to deploy all of our applications running in azure automatically.  We'd like to do the same for our cloud app and app image.
I read this thread earlier (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/1d55d207-daeb-458e-bb0b-ccf531220481/failed-to-upload-application-image?forum=azurebatch) where it sounded like I could just upload the app and app image zips directly to the
blob storage account.
I've gotten to the point where I can update the zips in the clouddrives and greenbutton-cloud-assemblies containers, but the Managed app for the service isn't updated. I can tell because we added a new supported job type to the ApplicationDefinition and
it doesn't show up in the portal.  Also when I try to submit a job with the new job type it gets rejected saying it's an unknown job type.
I've downloaded the blobs and used a decompiler to verify that the new job type is in the AppicationDefinition.
Is there some other thing I need to do to get the service to "re-load" the app? Am I on the wrong track and should attempt this another way?
thanks,
matt

Over the last couple of days, we've been creating new job types and directly uploading our zipped application (we only have 1 application) to the blob containers and we can schedule the newly defined job types without uploading through the batch apps portal.
