apk does not exist: verify that file points to a binary : Issue

[laltukumar-ayla]

I am trying to distribute the release apk to Firebase. I am able to do it through the demo codebase. But when I am trying to upload it through actual getting the error "verify that file points to a binary". I am struggling to solve this from one week not able to fix it.
Please help me through fixing this.

In my test the "file:" key dont accept special characters like "space" or "*" or ".".

To bypass the problem I used other issue indication to creat a variable with the name of the file:

      - name: Get app name
        id: app-name
        run: |
          APP_NAME=$(echo <.build/ios/ipa/app.ipa)
          echo "::set-output name=APP_NAME::${APP_NAME}"

And used it on the upload action

      - name: upload artifact to Firebase App Distribution
        uses: wzieba/Firebase-Distribution-Github-Action@v1
        with:
          appId: ${{secrets.FIREBASE_APP_ID_IOS_DEV}}
          serviceCredentialsFileContent: ${{ secrets.CREDENTIAL_FILE_CONTENT }}
          groups: testers
          file: ${{ steps.app-name.outputs.APP_NAME }}

had this recently when running on my own runners (not githubs) and it was a mix between not having docker available on our own runners, but even once we added that this github action uses docker with a volume mount
