Azure DevOps App service deployment using Azure Artifacts doesn't work

I am trying to deploy a .Net WebApp on Azure App Service using Azure DevOps. Everything works fine when I build and deploy the generated .zip file using build and release pipelines.

But when I try to store the built artifact as a Package in Azure Artifacts and then try to deploy that package using Release, it is not working.

My Build pipeline

trigger:
- ubuntu-build

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

stages:
  - stage: Build_Stage
    displayName: Build .NetCore App
    jobs:
      - job: webapp
        displayName: Build App
        variables:
          solution: '**/*.sln'
          buildPlatform: 'Any CPU'
          buildConfiguration: 'Release'

        steps:
        - task: NuGetToolInstaller@1

        - task: NuGetCommand@2
          inputs:
            restoreSolution: '$(solution)'

        - task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
          inputs:
            command: 'build'
            projects: '**/*.csproj'
            arguments: '--configuration $(buildConfiguration)'


        - task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
          inputs:
            command: 'publish'
            publishWebProjects: true
            arguments: '--configuration $(buildConfiguration) --output $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
            

        - script: ls $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)
        - task: PublishPipelineArtifact@1
          inputs:
            targetPath: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
            artifact: 'WebApp'
            publishLocation: 'pipeline'
        
        
        

      - job: publish
        displayName: Publish artifact to Azure Artifacts
        dependsOn: webapp
        
        steps:

        - task: DownloadBuildArtifacts@1
          inputs:
            buildType: 'current'
            downloadType: 'single'
            artifactName: 'WebApp'
            downloadPath: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
            cleanDestinationFolder: true

        - script: ls $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)

        - task: UniversalPackages@0
          inputs:
            command: 'publish'
            publishDirectory: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/webapp.zip'
            feedsToUsePublish: 'internal'
            vstsFeedPublish: 'id'
            vstsFeedPackagePublish: 'webapp'
            versionOption: 'minor'

I can see the generated artifact in Azure Artifacts enter image description here

I have added it as an Azure Artifact in the Release Pipeline

enter image description here

However, when I try to add it in the App Service Deploy task, I get this 'This artifact cannot be browsed.' at the top. This is unlike when I use a Build artifact where I can select the actual generated .zip file.

enter image description here

Is there something I am doing wrong in build or in storing the generated .zip file in Azure Artifacts?

'This artifact cannot be browsed.'

This message means that when you are configuring the pipeline, the pipeline doesn't know what files are in the artifact package.

As you mentioned in the comment, you can add the /webapp.zip and use $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_webapp/webapp.zip as input since you know this zip file is in the package. But when we configure the pipeline, the pipeline does not try to get the files in the package.

You can also view the Azure Artifact page. It also doesn't show on the page which files are included in the package. If you're using a package uploaded by another user, you won't know what's in it until you download it using the universal download command.
