Error: Failed to authenticate, have you run firebase login?

Like many, I am facing a problem with the action. I have followed the example at https://github.com/wzieba/Firebase-Distribution-Github-Action/blob/master/.github/workflows/main.yml and the instructions.

Here is my setup:

First I fetch the credentials that I have stored as a base64 string file at the secrets of the GitHub project.

- name: 'Fetch credential file for mobile projects from secrets'
  id: fetch_credential_file_mobile
  uses: timheuer/base64-to-file@v1.2
  with:
   encodedString: ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_GCP_CREDENTIALS_FOR_MOBILE_PROJECTS }}
   fileName: 'credential_file_for_mobile_projects.json'

At the output of the GitHub action, I can see the following:

Run timheuer/base64-to-file@v1.2
  with:
    encodedString: ***
    fileName: credential_file_for_mobile_projects.json
  env:
    SHORT_SHA: 10c48e9
    JAVA_HOME: /opt/hostedtoolcache/Java_Zulu_jdk/11.0.19-7/x64
    JAVA_HOME_11_X64: /opt/hostedtoolcache/Java_Zulu_jdk/11.0.19-7/x64

At the logs, I can see that the location where the new json file was created is at /home/runner/work/_temp/.

Then, I try to upload an apk that I have previously build with the following:

- name: 'Upload to Firebase App Distribution the mobile variant'
  uses: wzieba/Firebase-Distribution-Github-Action@v1.5.0
  with:
    appId: ${{ inputs.fadIdForMobile }}
    serviceCredentialsFile: /home/runner/work/_temp/credential_file_for_mobile_projects.json
    groups: 'developers'
    releaseNotes: 'These are some test release notes'
    file: ${{ inputs.apkPath }}
    debug: true

At the logs I can see that all parameters are fine:

Run wzieba/Firebase-Distribution-Github-Action@v1.5.0
  with:
    appId: 1:XYX:android:XYZ
    serviceCredentialsFile: /home/runner/work/_temp/credential_file_for_mobile_projects.json
    groups: developers
    releaseNotes: These are some test release notes
    file: apps/***-app/build/outputs/apk/debug/***-app-debug.apk
    debug: true
  env:
    SHORT_SHA: 10c48e9
    JAVA_HOME: /opt/hostedtoolcache/Java_Zulu_jdk/11.0.19-7/x64
    JAVA_HOME_11_X64: /opt/hostedtoolcache/Java_Zulu_jdk/11.0.19-7/x64

Nevertheless, an error occurs:

Error: Failed to authenticate, have you run firebase login?

Where is the problem with my code? Even though I am setting all the parameters properly, I get an error that the authentication failed. At which directory does the json get created? What is the full path of it? Should I actually use the full path?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

This is still a problem for me in the latest build.
