Is `gRPCCertificates-Cpp.bundle` necessary?

Firebase.zip contains Firebase/FirebaseFirestore/Resources/gRPCCertificates-Cpp.bundle.
https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/releases/tag/v8.10.0

But, I think it is no longer needed since 6.13.0.

Why is gRPCCertificates-Cpp.bundle still included in the release?
If it is not needed, please remove it as it is confusing.

gRPC continues to include gRPCCertificates-Cpp.bundle even though Firestore no longer needs it, so our zip builder tooling includes it when creating the distribution.

I'll create this issue to add a special case to the zip builder to prevent resource creation for Firestore.

In the meantime, it's safe to disregard gRPCCertificates-Cpp.bundle.

Thanks for the quick answer!
I ignore the gRPCCertificates-Cpp.bundle.
