Getting "Authenticating with FIREBASE_TOKEN is deprecated" error when authenticating with SERVICE ACCOUNT

[bernat-gomez]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

1. Add account service to env. variable

2. Configure firebase app distribution in ios build

   firebase:
   firebase_service_account: $GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
   ios:
   app_id: <some_ios_app_id>
   groups:
   - <some_group_in_firebase_distr> # Group in "Firebase Distr"

3. Launch build

Distribution fails for iOS, but works on Android using the same account service.

Expected results

Successful upload to firebase distr.

Actual results

The distribution phase fails with error:

Publishing failed :| Failed to publish /Users/builder/clone/build/ios/ipa/xyz.ipa to Firebase App Distribution: ⚠ Authenticating with FIREBASE_TOKENis deprecated and will be removed in a future major version offirebase-tools. Instead, use a service account key with GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started

hey @bernat-gomez Firebase has marked authentication via token as deprecated and might disable it in future versions of firebase tool. But this is just a warning and should not cause the build to fail.

The main error here is Request contains an invalid argument.
Can you please double check the format of your appId that you entered inside your yaml file

publishing:
  firebase:
    ios:
      # Add your iOS app id retrieved from Firebase console in this format
      app_id: x:xxxxxxxxxxxx:ios:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks David! You're right, since iOS has 2 app ID's, it was using the wrong one.
