How to Publish a ClickOnce application with Azure DevOps Pipeline on different environments?

Question

I try for several days now to publish my ClickOnce application with Azure DevOps Pipeline. Before going in detail here is what I would like to do from my release view:

Answer 1

finally I could solve this by adding a file transform before my build.

In case you need more help here is my YAML detail for transformation

steps:

- task: FileTransform@1

  displayName: 'File Transform: '

  inputs:

    folderPath: App.Example

    enableXmlTransform: true

    xmlTransformationRules: '-transform **\*.Staging.config -xml **\*.config'

    fileType: xml

#Your build pipeline references the ‘BuildPlatform’ variable, which you’ve selected to be settable at queue time. Create or edit the build pipeline for this YAML file, define the variable on the Variables tab, and then select the option to make it settable at queue time. See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=865971



steps:

- task: VSBuild@1

  displayName: 'Build solution'

  inputs:

    solution: Example.sln

    msbuildArgs: '/target:publish /p:ApplicationVersion=$(Build.BuildNumber) /p:PublishURL=http://staging.example.com/   /p:UpdateEnabled=true  /p:UpdateMode=Foreground  /p:ProductName="App Staging" /p:OutputPath="$(build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)\Publish\\"'

    platform: '$(BuildPlatform)'

    configuration: Staging
