Authenticating with `FIREBASE_TOKEN` is deprecated

[John]

I have a self-hosted server, and I'm trying to deploy, and I'm getting this error.

+ firebase appdistribution:distribute app/build/outputs/apk/qa/release/app-qa-release.apk --app $FIREBASE_APP_ID_QA --release-notes-file "app/src/main/play/release-notes/en-US/default-internal.txt" --groups android-testers

⚠ Authenticating with `FIREBASE_TOKEN` is deprecated and will be removed in a future major version of `firebase-tools`. Instead, use a service account key with `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`:

Hi @John 

Jumping in here as I've noticed you have not yet received a response from our community.

Whilst I cannot provide Firebase support specifically, I found a helpful article online that covers GitLab which can be applied largely the same to Bitbucket Cloud:

• https://medium.com/@sky.tienyu/how-to-deploy-firebase-in-gitlab-ci-using-a-service-account-key-b2a459b63db9

Essentially, you will need to create an SA key in Firebase and store it as a repository variable in Bitbucket Cloud so that it can be referenced in your YML, the script for decoding/formatting to JSON can be copy pasted in your script portion of your YML config.

If you are still having issues, I'd recommend reaching out to the Firebase community on Github:

• https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/issues

Cheers!
