+`FirebaseServerApp` can now be initalized with an App Check token instead of invoking the App Check
+`getToken` method. This should unblock the use of App Check enforced products in SSR environments
+where the App Check SDK cannot be initialized.

+## FirebaseServerAppSettings.appCheckToken
+
+An optional App Check token. If provided, the Firebase SDKs that use App Check will utilize this App Check token in place of requiring an instance of App Check to be initialized.
+
+If the token fails local verification due to expiration or parsing errors, then a console error is logged at the time of initialization of the `FirebaseServerApp` instance.
+
+<b>Signature:</b>
+
+```typescript
+appCheckToken?: string;
+```
+
 ## FirebaseServerAppSettings.authIdToken
 
 An optional Auth ID token used to resume a signed in user session from a client runtime environment.
 
 Invoking `getAuth` with a `FirebaseServerApp` configured with a validated `authIdToken` causes an automatic attempt to sign in the user that the `authIdToken` represents. The token needs to have been recently minted for this operation to succeed.
 
-If the token fails local verification, or if the Auth service has failed to validate it when the Auth SDK is initialized, then a warning is logged to the console and the Auth SDK will not sign in a user on initialization.
+If the token fails local verification due to expiration or parsing errors, then a console error is logged at the time of initialization of the `FirebaseServerApp` instance.
+
+If the Auth service has failed to validate the token when the Auth SDK is initialized, then an warning is logged to the console and the Auth SDK will not sign in a user on initialization.
 
 If a user is successfully signed in, then the Auth instance's `onAuthStateChanged` callback is invoked with the `User` object as per standard Auth flows. However, `User` objects created via an `authIdToken` do not have a refresh token. Attempted `refreshToken` operations fail.
