Extension name (the extension in question) az pipelines runs artifact download

Description of issue (in as much detail as possible) I need to be able to download the "containers" from the build run artifacts as a zip file (the same as I can from the web UI).

However the above command fails with error "Artifact with name 'Android' was found, but is of type 'Container'". I've tried mapping into the container to download an individual file, but that also fail with a can't find file error. I have also tried adding on "Android&$format=zip" that the rest api uses in it's download URI, but this also fails.

I've also posted this issue to Stock Overflow.

Experienced this today, still an issue.

This stack overflow post recommended switching upload tasks, which worked! https://stackoverflow.com/a/60962886/11141271

- task: PublishPipelineArtifact@1
  inputs:
    targetPath: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)'
    artifact: 'AzLogicApp'
    publishLocation: 'pipeline'

(using PublishPipelineArtifact instead of PublishBuildArtifacts let me upload a dir of PDFs as a single artifact and then download them successfully)
