How do I download a .ipa file / publish to google firebase beta distribution

Please let us download the .ipa files so we can upload to google firebase beta program. Contrary to popular belief, there is in fact, a way to distribute beta versions through Firebase (google). (https://firebase.google.com/docs/app-distribution/ios/distribute-console ) To use it you’d need a iOS bundle ID (which we already have) and a .ipa file.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let us download .ipa files for free on thunkable with our app as an option. I am trying to make an app and I want my friends to test it and it’s a pain to get 7 different emails and forward them with each update, and I dont have $99 usd (apple) + $? (thunkable pro) to pay for testflight and the ability to publish there.

TL:DR - You can use google Firebase to distribute beta versions of ios and android apps with a bundle id & a .ipa file = let use get our .ipa files WITHOUT PRO/PREMIUM !
