It should be pretty straight forward. Taking from this answer:

$Uri = 'https://server/api/';
$Headers = @{'Auth_token'=$AUTH_TOKEN};
$FileContent = [IO.File]::ReadAllText('C:\test\test.test');
$Fields = @{'appInfo'='{"name": "test","description": "test"}';'uploadFile'=$FileContent};

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $Uri -ContentType 'multipart/form-data' -Method Post -Headers $Headers -Body $Fields;

You may want to use [IO.File]::ReadAllBytes() if the file isn't a text file.

This also may not work well if you're uploading a huge file.
