For Firebase App Distribution , how to set version number from Github Action?

Question

I want to set the version number from the GitHub action script for Firebase App distribution. Here is the place:

I have already tried using the below Github action script, but it seems there are no appRelease options for firebase appdistribution:distribute plugin

    # Extract Version from Git Tag
  - name: Extract Version from Tag
    id: extract_version
    run: echo "::set-output name=version::$(echo ${{ github.ref }} | sed -n 's/refs\/tags\/v//p')"

  # Extract Release Notes from Tag Message
  - name: Extract Release Notes from Tag
    id: get_tag_message
    run: |
      tag_message=$(git log -1 --pretty=%B)
      echo "::set-output name=tag-message::$tag_message"

  # Upload APK to Firebase App Distribution
  - name: Upload APK to Firebase App Distribution
    run: |
      firebase appdistribution:distribute build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk \
      --app "${{ secrets.APPID }}" \
      --groups "testers" \
      --debug \
      --release-notes "Version: ${{ steps.extract_version.outputs.version }} | Release Notes: ${{ steps.get_tag_message.outputs.tag-message }}" 

Can anybody help to set the version number here?

I think Firebase gets the version from the android:versionName field in AndroidManifest.xml file (which is contained in the .apk). Have you checked the value of that field? As for the number in the parentheses, that is the android:versionCode field used to determine whether the build is an upgrade or downgrade, as explained here.
