Run wzieba/Firebase-Distribution-Github-Action@v1
  with:
    appId: app: "MY_ID"
    token: MY_TOKEN
    groups: testers
    file: build/ios/iphoneos/app.ipa
    debug: false
##[error]Container action is only supported on Linux

[wzieba]

Docker-based actions are not supported on MacOS, check the documentation for more: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/about-actions#docker-container-actions

I do not plan to make this action JavaScript-based.

If there are someone who like me didn't know how to upload an IPA at first, here's how you do it, based on this #13 (comment)

1. Build your IPA on macOS
2. Distribute your IPA using Ubuntu (make a different job based on a build one)

jobs:
  build-ios:
    runs-on: macos-latest

    steps:
      # build here
      - name: Upload artifact
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: YourApp.ipa
          path: YourApp.ipa # Path to your IPA file will usually be root of the project (if you use Fastlane)

  distribute-ios:
    needs: build-ios # This is important
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: YourApp.ipa

      - name: Upload artifact to Firebase App Distribution
        uses: wzieba/Firebase-Distribution-Github-Action@v1
        with:
          appId: ${{secrets.FIREBASE_IOS_APP_ID}}
          file: YourApp.ipa
          groups: testers
          token: ${{secrets.FIREBASE_TOKEN}}

@wzieba thanks for this information, is this still the case now (Aug 2021)? Just curious... thanks for the great action btw

@demchenkoalex I tried to upload & download my ipa file (around more than 20mb) by using upload&download-artifact action as your suggestion. But when upload to firebase distribution I always get the error below:
Error: failed to upload release. There's been an error processing your app. Ensure you are uploading a valid IPA and try again. If this problem continues, contact Firebase support.
Do you have any suggestions for this case?

[demchenkoalex]

Hi @mvn-tony-hn sorry it was 1.5 years ago, and I changed jobs and never used this commercially anymore, so I am not up to date 😞

I found this alternative which supports Mac.
FYI
