How can i use Firebase App distribution without google account?

I am a Fabric user it works flawless for app distribution purpose. Recently I migrated my Fabric app to Firebase platform (as Google is removing Fabric) for app distribution with my testers. I followed their doc https://firebase.google.com/docs/app-distribution/ios/distribute-console and got email for app setup, but when I process it shows sign in with Google button. This is really useless how can my tester sign in without his google account as he only has our office domain email address?

I am unable to download with my domain email and can not share with our testers. How can I fix this?

Thanks,

It is not solutions but to address the problem but to make question seen better!

I like Firebase App Distribution, it works well for android users with ([email protected]) but for iOS users (who most likely have [email protected]) there are some issues!

If they don't have [email protected] they have to create it (which is bad not everyone is ready to create gmail account while onboarding new testers just to try out my simple app)

Any plans in near future to add ability for iOS testers to test app without [email protected]? To be able to use at least @icloud.com or facebook accounts

Right now in App Center (microsoft alternative for firebase) there is a feature where you can deploy beta version for iOS/Android and users can use Github/Google/Microsoft/Facebook accounts to install beta apps

Todd from Firebase. Right now it is mandatory that each tester has a Google account. This allows us to simplify the tester management process.
