All no-cost plan (Spark) projects are no longer allowed to distribute apk or ipa files. Does this affect Firebase App Distribution?

Hi dear Google/Firebase.
I got the message below. Does this affect Firebase App Distribution?
Thanks
We're writing to you about an upcoming change to Cloud Storage for Firebase and/or Firebase Hosting that may affect you.
Firebase and Google are always looking for more ways to make our products safer. Therefore, we are taking proactive steps to prevent abuse on our platform by blocking the upload and hosting of certain file types for all no-cost plan projects created after Sept 28th, 2023.
The following files types can no longer be hosted on Firebase Hosting and Storage:
- APK (Android)
- IPA (iOS)
- EXE (Windows)
- BAT (Windows)
- DLL (Windows)
Pay as you go projects (Blaze plan) are unaffected by this change and can continue hosting these file types.
We will be blocking the upload of the file types listed above for all no-cost plan (Spark) projects starting from Sept 28th, 2023. All projects that hosted such files before Sept 28th, 2023 will have the ability to keep hosting them and will remain unaffected by this change.
