Failing on Firebase App Distribution Workflow

[HemalAsanka]

Im trying to upload my Android APK file to Firebase App Distribution using Firebase App Distribution Workflow. But, Im getting error as "unknown option '-e'". How can I resolve it? Here is the log:

Configs:
  * firebase_token: [REDACTED]
  * service_credentials_file: 
  * app_path: /bitrise/deploy/app-release-bitrise-signed.apk
  * app: ***********
  * release_notes: -New version
  * release_notes_length: 
  * release_notes_file: 
  * testers: ************
  * groups: 
  * flags: 
  * is_debug: false
  * upgrade_firebase_tools: false
App path contains a file, great!! 👍
