Hi @silasiebert,

Sorry to hear about the issue. Can you please send us a build URL we could look into?

Hi @bitce. How should I send you the build url. Through the chat?

You can simply pase it here :slight_smile:

We prefer that in case you open a thread we attempt to resolve it here, so anyone can see the process it took.

But alternatively you can contact us with similar issues on our on-site chat as well of course!

Thanks @silasiebert!

What method did you use to provide your Service Key JSON? Based on the log I can see it is a secret but the error leads me to believe that the file is not at that specified path.
