Possible cause: You are using the wrong Firebase private key.

This issue is usually caused by a misconfigured Firebase private key. Make sure you are using the correct private key and that it is not expired.

***************************
---
--END PRIVATE KEY---

The key needs to be added to your environment variables settings. Please use your CI to add this key since it's a secret key:
