Hi, I have successfully registered a new app via the api, now I am trying to register an ssh key.

I send a POST request to [https://api.bitrise.io/v0.1/apps/de2d4b42f73c1c40/register-ssh-key](https://api.bitrise.io/v0.1/apps/de2d4b42f73c1c40/register-ssh-key) with the public and private key as per the documentation, and I get the response

`{ "status": "ok" }`

When I try to call the finish endpoint, I get a 500 server error. If I login to the dashboard and go to the visual app setup, I can see that no SSH key has been set: [https://share.getcloudapp.com/DOuvQXBl](https://share.getcloudapp.com/DOuvQXBl)

What am I doing wrong?

The app slug is de2d4b42f73c1c40

Thanks
