The Azure Web App Deployment task has been deprecated. But in TFS 2015, it still using it and in TFS 2017 and VSTS, it has been updated to use the Azure App Service Deploy task.

So if you want to use Azure App Service Deploy task, you could upload this task using tfx command to manually. The source files of the Azure App Service Deploy task is on the Github site. You could clone down the repository first.

tfx command to upload a build task:
