Answer 1

basically this means your package is not being created or is being created in path you are not scanning; try this:

- task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
  inputs:
    #pathtoPublish: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'

For example:

The value should be in the yellow area.

Alternatively, you can select the .zip file by the option ...:
