I am getting this error while opening unity with firebase sdk 8.7.0.
Unable to find command line tool python required for Firebase Android resource generation.
python is required to generate the Firebase Android resource file google-services.xml from Assets/Firebase/GoogleService-Info.plist. Without Firebase Android resources, your app will fail to initialize.
python was distributed with each Firebase Unity SDK plugin, was it deleted?

I tried running python "/Users/xxx/Documents/unity-project/Assets/Firebase/Editor/generate_xml_from_google_services_json.py" -i "Assets/Firebase/GoogleService-Info.plist" -l --plist in shell and it successfully output my app's bundle id com.myapp.bundle
I also tried reimporting firebase sdk, restart unity, restart mac, but none of them solves the issue.
I searched similar issues but unfortunately found no solution.
Something I did before this error showed up: I upgraded macOS to the latest Monterey 12.3. Not sure if that is related.
I would appreciate some help. Getting pretty desperate, I've been on this all day long.
