Unable to deploy using fastlane azure task with Token based authentication

Enter Task Name: Unable to deploy using fastlane azure task with Token based authentication

Environment Azure Pipelines

Issue Description I'm unable to use AppStoreRelease to publish the app to my external testers. I have been provided with a string api_key in the format -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nxxxxyyyyzzzz\n-----END PRIVATE KEY----- as a string key from azure keyvaults and I don't have access to the .p8 file. When I'm uploading to fastlane using local fastlane setup by providing the api_key in json, authentication is working. But azure pipelines is asking the base64 encoded version in service connection.

I tried the following $api_key_content = '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nxxxxyyyyzzzz\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----'

And provided the api key to the service connection but still getting this error
