ios – Importing to TestFlight utilizing Fastlane concern

In continuation to this query
I hold getting the under error when making an attempt to add to TestFlight: (please naked in thoughts that the bottom line is certainly right)

[08:17:35]: Referred to as from Fastfile at line 30
[08:17:35]: ```
[08:17:35]:     28: 
[08:17:35]:     29:     # Add the construct to TestFlight
[08:17:35]:  => 30:     pilot( api_key_path: "fastlane/api.json" )
[08:17:35]:     31:   finish
[08:17:35]:     32: finish
[08:17:35]: ```
[08:17:35]: Authentication credentials are lacking or invalid. - Present a correctly configured and signed bearer token, and make it possible for it has not expired. Study extra about Producing Tokens for API Requests 

my json format is like so (naked in thoughts the a number of n used for every line within the non-public key):

{
  "key_id": "my_key_id",
  "issuer_id": "my_issuer_id",
  "key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----nMIGTAgEAMBMGByqGSM49AgEGCCqGSM49AwEHBHknlhdlYdLunAgEGCCqGSM49AwEHBHknlhdlYdLunAgEGCCqGSM49AwEHBHknlhdlYdLun-----END PRIVATE KEY-----",
  "length": 1200,
  "in_house": false
}

and I present the above api.json like so in fastfile:

pilot( api_key_path: "fastlane/api.json" )
