I just tried this through the gui "classic" release using the depoy azure web app task:

it was successful and the json looks similar

1.163.4 is old task, thanks for confirming it is working with Azure App service deploy V4.

So am I not supposed to be able to use this task in yaml ?
You closed it with very little context on how I am supposed to resolve AzureAppServiceSettings
This doc is from 4/6/2020. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/deploy/azure-app-service-settings?view=azure-devops#example
And that example wasn't working for me.
The only difference I see is:
AzureAppServiceSettings@0
vs
AzureAppServiceSettings@1
but yaml editor gives me a warning with AzureAppServiceSettings@0 and the job fails with
  | A task is missing. The pipeline references a task called 'AzureAppServiceSettings' with version '0'. This indicates that the specific task version can not be found. (job 'Deploy', step ''.)20200424.2 |

Same happening for me. Doesn't work for a windows instance.
It is throwing an exception although the json is exactly as the README.

Why is this issue closed? Is there an alternative task?
