1. App Distribution should have at least basic management of email notifications

   There is no option to set email preferences for tester groups in Firebase App Distribution. It is unnecessary to pester everyone with emails when they can find the last app version in App Tester.

2. Support Public distribution group to allow user to install app on their device without authentication

   However, Firebase lacks the feature to share debug builds with a public distribution group, like Microsoft AppCenter offers, without adding testers. Sharing public link users should be able to install on their devices without authentication.

3. Download IPA/APK files from Download link on Desktop

   Allow users opening the Download link for a Firebase App Distribution Release to access and download the app file through desktop browsers instead of arbitrarily blocking it.

4. Download ipa/apk files on Desktop

   Allow a Download link for a build uploaded to Firebase App Distribution to be opened and the file downloaded on a desktop machine instead of only mobile devices, allowing the sharing of apps with third parties that cannot access email or google accounts on the target devices. It's the same basic functionality that already exists, simply allowed on desktop as well instead of arbitrarily blocked.

   Given the nearly ubiquitous presence of this as an option with other app distributors, it's somewhat shocking this wasn't already an option.

5. Firebase App Distribution Permissions Change

   Currently, the automated testing feature within Firebase App Distribution mandates that the user executing the test possess either the Project Owner or Project Editor IAM role. This requirement is overly broad and presents a significant operational barrier for organizations managing a large number of projects (e.g., 1,000+) where granting such high-level permissions is often restricted due to security policies and standard practices. Attempts confirmed that even users with high-privilege roles like Organization Admin and Firebase Admin were unable to run these tests, indicating the check is strictly limited to Owner/Editor.

   This limitation prevents teams from effectively utilizing the automated testing feature. We request the ability to run Firebase App Distribution automated tests using more granular permissions. Ideally, this would involve either identifying a specific set of minimum required permissions that can be bundled into a custom role or providing a new, less privileged predefined IAM role specifically for this purpose. Enabling finer-grained access control is crucial for the adoption and practical use of this feature in enterprise environments. Google Support acknowledged this limitation is known, on the product roadmap without a specific ETA, and filed an internal bug/request.

6. Support Markdown format for release notes files

   When attaching release notes to a release using App Distribution, it would be great if Markdown files were supported and rendered (release emails, inside the Tester app, in the Console, etc).

8. Customizable Filename for iOS Artifacts in Firebase App Distribution

   Description:

   We have identified an area for improvement regarding the naming of iOS artifacts in Firebase App Distribution. Currently, when an IPA file is downloaded from the Firebase App Distribution console, it is automatically named app.ipa regardless of its original filename.

   Background:

   Our investigation revealed that, based on Google’s public documentation [1] [2], there is no available method to customize the filename during download.

   Firebase App Distribution automatically assigns the name app.ipa for iOS artifacts as a default behavior, and this is not configurable via the console or CLI.

   Request:

   We propose the introduction of a feature that allows users to customize the downloaded filename for iOS artifacts. This could be implemented either as an option in the Firebase console or through an additional parameter in the CLI. Such a feature would greatly enhance flexibility and usability for teams that require specific naming conventions for artifact management.

   Benefits:

   1. Improved Usability: Teams can easily align artifact naming with their versioning and distribution workflows.

   2. Enhanced Clarity: Customizable filenames can help in better identification and management of multiple builds and versions.

   3. Reduced Confusion: Avoid potential issues when integrating with other tools that expect specific naming conventions.

10. Show direct download link for releases as QR code to scan using phone

    Hello team,

    As AppCenter is deprecated and we're currently moving to Firebase App Distribution as our primary internal app testing platform we'd like to request a new but very valuable feature. This feature should be minor and quick to implement but would make our lives a lot simpler.

    We use Fastlane and the firebaseappdistribution plugin for deploying our builds during CI builds. This plugin generates three links to download a specific release. The first generated link is to view the release in the Firebase Console and it's the one we're currently giving our QA testers and POs so they know what version and version code to download using their phone. It's quite tedious though to look it up in their phones and verify it's the correct release as they do not use their email inbox and email you send out when new releases are deployed. They look at the JIRA for a certain feature/task and navigate to the Firebase Console using the link our CI build comments into the JIRA task.

    We'd appreciate if you could you add an option next to the Download button in the console to view the direct download link for a certain release (the one which doesn't expire after 1h) as a QR code so they can use their phone cameras to scan their laptop screen and open the link easily that way in their browser.

    Best regards
    Elvedin

14. App Distribution API includes information whether tester have installed the app

    Currently the only way to know whether a tester have installed a version is through the Firebase Console. I wish we could get this information through the App Distribution API too. Currently we only have lastActivityTime which is not very useful: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/app-distribution/rest/v1/projects.testers#Tester

15. Enable Desktop App Distribution

    Allow desktop app developers to distribute DMG and EXE files via app distribution. This is part of a wider topic of enabling Firebase tooling for desktop environments but seems like a quicker win.

16. Firebase App Tester app not only for testing

    “App Tester” has built-in texts suggesting that all we can do is test.
    If the texts containing “test” were replaced and the app name would be more like “App Distribution”
    then there are more cases than just testing where a mobile app could be very useful.
    It could then help in private distribution of the app, for example among company members etc.
