Resolve "Error: Publish using webdeploy options are supported only when using Windows agent"

This blog explains how to resolve "Error: Publish using web deploy options are supported only when using Windows agent", in Azure App Service deploy task, with web deploy as deployment type and Linux as release agent.

Error: 

"Publish using webdeploy options are supported only when using Windows agent"

Fix: Change deployment type as zipDeploy on Azure App Service deploy task to deploy using Linux agents.

        - task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4

          displayName: "Deploy to app-linuxdeploy"

          inputs:

            ConnectionType: 'AzureRM'

            azureSubscription: 'TestConnect'

            appType: 'webApp'

            WebAppName: 'app-linuxdeploy'

            deployToSlotOrASE: true

            ResourceGroupName: 'rg-winbuild-linuxdeploy'

            SlotName: 'production'

            packageForLinux: '$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)/src/sampleapp.zip'

            enableCustomDeployment: true

            DeploymentType: 'zipDeploy'

You can deploy packages using zipDeploy and using Linux agent without getting the above-mentioned failure.
