Deploy to firebase app distribution without a google play account

[kasvith]

Code magic gives the following error on deployment when tries to deploy

Firebase App Distribution: Error: This project is not linked to a Google Play account

I can manually upload to firebase app distribution btw

If you encounter this, change the build type to apk.
aab require google play store to generate binaries

Hi @Grummfy, it is already in the docs ))

In order to distribute an .aab to testers via Firebase App Distribution, your Firebase project must be linked to your Google Play account. More information is available [here](https://firebase.google.com/docs/app-distribution/android/distribute-console?apptype=aab#before_you_begin)

well, indeed. But it's not very obvious. Some warning could help in the interface or some bold text. Thanks
