Xamarin build pipeline (ios-android) azuredevops multienvironment

I would like to build and deploy a Xamarin app in both iOS and Android. Release in stages to 3 environments (Dev-UAT-Production)

When in release it will distribute to appcenter.

I have added a step in the pipeline before the build takes place to change the value of a constant in class that defines what kind of build I am doing EG "Dev" or "Production" etc..

however I cannot find a way in the release pipeline to have some sort of condition

  1. if(Dev) execute DevStage
  2. if(UAT) execute UAT Stage
  3. if(Production) execute Production Stage

If the above is not possible I would have to 3 pipelines one of each stage.

Any ideas -link how to achieve the above?

It is not possible to achieve it because your constant in your code will not be read before you execute your stage. The code can be read only after you execute your stage.
