Coming from your previous ticket....

You need define your task as below format:

- task: DownloadBuildArtifacts@0
  displayName: 'Download Build Artifacts'
  inputs:
    buildType: 'current'
    downloadType: 'single'
    artifactName: Artifacts
    itemPattern: |
     **/*.ipa
     **/manifest.plist

- task: CopyFiles@2
  displayName: 'Copy Files'
  inputs:
    SourceFolder: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
    Contents: |
     **/*.ipa
     **/manifest.plist
    TargetFolder: '$(Agent.HomeDirectory)/../${{parameters.FolderCompile}}'

Since .ipa and manifest.plist are all come from the build artifact: Artifacts, both of them are all under the Artifacts folder. So, please also do not forget to use **/manifest.plist to retrieve your needed files.

You can do it in this way:

- task: DownloadBuildArtifacts@0
  inputs:
    buildType: 'current'
    downloadType: 'single'
    artifactName: 'Artifacts'
    itemPattern: |
      **/*.ipa
      manifest.plist
    downloadPath: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
