I'm having issues with signing into my app whenever I test it in Closed Testing.
My app uses Firebase for authentication, I have three variants set up for my React Native project (development, demo, production) and can confirm that my scripts, I run to build the app, point to the correct environment variables and app points to the correctly database and api when built in debug mode. When I generated a release APK and send the files to the testers, they usually don't have issues with logging in. (This was before I opened a google play account) However, whenever I uploaded the aab (using ./gradlew bundleRelease) for closed testing, sometimes users could pass the login screen, sometimes they couldn't.
I can confirm the release is being signed correctly. I was able to debug the app locally, and generate a release successfully. Locally, in both release and debug mode, Authentication, API calls were correctly. Just fails whenever I generate and upload the app bundle to google play console. I tried the google's help desk, they recommended me to use only one track per app in closed testing. Therefore, I closed all but one (alpha), still having this issue.
These are the questions I searched Link Link Link
I was thinking of adding the SHA-1 certificate fingerprint to each of the firebase project, but I don't know if that's the most accurate approach to fixing this issue.

* bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
* and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the
