You haven't share you pipeline definition, however, based on the error message, it appeared that your task to publish pipeline artifacts from $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory) (/Users/runner/work/1/a) failed because that folder was empty.

Usually, your package .ipa file was generated inside the $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory) during the build. For this, you may add a CopyFiles@2 task to copy the .ipa package file(s) from $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory) to $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory) before publishing.

Additionally, I recommend checking the pipeline logs to confirm the exact location of your .ipa file.

Here is a sample YAML pipeline definition for your reference to help modify your pipeline.

- script: |
    brew install tree
    tree $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)

- task: CopyFiles@2
  inputs:
    SourceFolder: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)'
    Contents: '**/*.ipa'
    TargetFolder: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'

- publish: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)
  artifact: drop
