How to download the newest build from the universal artifacts packages

Question

I have a universal artifacts package feed named 'TWI-NORA/twi-cci' How can I download the package with the newest version without hard coded style

 - task: DownloadPackage@1
    inputs:
      packageType: 'upack'
      feed: 'TWI-NORA/twi-cci'
      definition: '$(packageName)'
      version: '1.0.0' # something like $(latestVersion)
      extract: true
      downloadPath: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)''

Answer 1

You could use * as the version of the package. Then the “download package” task will download the latest version of the package.

For example:

- task: DownloadPackage@1
    inputs:
      packageType: 'upack'
      feed: '1'
      definition: '$(packageName)'
      version: '*'
      extract: true
      downloadPath: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'

Here is a doc about Downloading the latest version of package.

Hope this helps.
