I have searched on google but I did not found any suggestion.

Please provide the command. I can see only the response in your post. — Roman Patutin

Did you try to update Google Cloud SDK? Do you use docker in "complex php app"? — Roman Patutin
yes, all up to date. current SDK version [213.0.0]. No docker, standard env: php72 — HoangWeb

I had the same issue and fixed it using :

gcloud components update

As I did not have permission to modify the SDK installation directory it was suggested I run : (You might want to adapt to your path)

sudo /usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud components update

Then my gcloud app deploy command worked again :)
