Relevant log output

Step  input gitHubConnection expects a service connection of type github with authentication scheme OAuth,OAuth2,PersonalAccessToken,Token but the provided service connection **** is of type GitHub using authentication scheme InstallationToken.

Aditional info

The pipeline won't save because the task requires a github connection of a type that is not installation token. Oddly enough when using a OAuth or PAT based connection, the pipeline overview "complains" and suggests to use the github app instead (installation token).

I would love to use the github app instead and I can use it for the GitHubComment@0 task but for some reason not for the GithubRelease task.

Error message when saving:
> Step  input gitHubConnection expects a service connection of type github with authentication scheme OAuth,OAuth2,PersonalAccessToken,Token but the provided service connection **** is of type GitHub using authentication scheme InstallationToken.

Banner suggesting to use InstallationTokens instead:
> This pipeline is using an OAuth-based connection. Switch to the Azure Pipelines GitHub App for improved reliability and performance.

[Use app connection]

Seems like quite the contradiction to me.

Hey @xmdanni @julianh-nable you can expect installation token support to be released by the end of this week or start of the next week.
