Firebase App Distribution (locally)

To distribute app-variants with one simple command by taking advantage of this helper bash script, you need to use com.google.firebase.appdistribution gradle plugin and:

1. Add this firebaseLocalDistribution.sh to your project root;
2. Have a google-services.json with the desired project configurations inside app module;
3. Have a signing.properties file correctly filled (will be used here);
4. Add firebaseRefreshToken property to local.properties with the token returned by ./gradlew appDistributionLogin (it will print in the console after successful authentication) or pass it as parameter;
5. run chmod +x ./firebaseLocalDistribution.sh (needed first time only) and then ./firebaseLocalDistribution.sh

Usage: firebaseLocalDistribution [-f string] [-b string] [-t string]  
    	-f,	product flavor to distribute [dev; qa; prd; all], if not specified "all" will be used  
      	-b,	build type to distribute [debug; release]  
      	-t,	firebase refresh token, if not specified fallback will be used (local.properties, firebaseRefreshToken property)
      	-n,	release notes message

Grab some 🍿 and wait for the result.
