What I am doing

I am trying to use FastLane and plugin firebase_app_distribution to automate the CI process to Firebase App Distribution.

Here is my lane script

lane :distribute do
  build_android_app(task: "assemble", build_type: 'Release')

  # build_android_app is a built-in fastlane action.
  release = firebase_app_distribution(
      app: "1:123456789:android:abcd1234",
      testers: "[email protected]",
      release_notes: "Lots of amazing new features to test out!",
      android_artifact_type: "APK",
      android_artifact_path: "../build/app/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk",
      service_credentials_file: "/Users/xxx/codes/keys/xxx/solid-memory-9bf9c-c7915024732b.json",
      debug: true
  )
end

Here is the error I get

User Roles

The service account has these roles:

Firebase App Distribution API is enabled These roles are added to the service account:

• Editor
• Firebase Admin
• Firebase App Distribution Admin
• Firebase App Distribution Admin SDK Service Agent
• Firebase Test Lab Admin

I am pretty sure the issue is not caused by account permission. I have tried using my Owner account and firebase login without setting the service_credentials_file in above script. It's showing the same error.

I am able to upload the apk to firebase manually.

Would really appreciate if someone can help. Thanks!
