Firebase Admin Go SDK v3.3.0

Authentication

• Fixed a regression introduced in the 3.2.0 release, where VerifyIDToken() cannot be used in Google App Engine.

Firebase Admin Go SDK v3.2.0

• The Admin SDK can now read the Firebase/Google Cloud Platform project ID from both GCLOUD_PROJECT and GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT environment variables.

Authentication

• The Admin SDK can now create custom tokens without being initialized with service account credentials.
• The SDK now provides a ServiceAccountId
  option specifier, which can be used to set just the client email of a service account.
• When deployed in an environment managed by Google (e.g. Google App Engine), the SDK can auto discover a service account ID without any explicit configuration.
