Build pipeline for xaml files

I am trying to have a CI/CD pipeline for my project for which the output of the development is multiple xaml files.

I am trying to build a pipeline in Azure Devops tool. For build pipelines we have to select a task (for eg: for powershell scripts there is a powershell task) . Since our project files are xamls , what could we select here and complete our build pipeline? Basically what are the build activities(like sonarQube and HPFortify for java project) that we can do on xaml files ? If there is none, can I bypass and have an empty build so that we can enter the release pipeline without much build checks. We dont need to package it into a separate package. It can remain as xaml files after the build and the CD pipelines can deploy it to a folder in the server.

If your build artifact is just a bunch of XAML files then simply use a copy task to copy these to $(Build. ArtifactStagingDirectory) and then use a publish drop task to take the contents of $(Build. ArtifactStagingDirectory) and store it on the server and you're done.

You don't have to have a build task you just need the files required for your release which the above couple of steps will do nicely.
