After deploying: Error: [@octokit/webhooks] signature does not match event payload and secret

I developed my bot according to this example, but after deploying it to Vercel I get these errors in my Vercel Runtime Logs:

AggregateError:

Any idea why?

Just my two cents, it might help:

• If this error is not present in your local, verify whether you install the dependencies via npm install or npm ci. If there is no error on local, this might mean you're installing with npm install which could essentially differ dependency versions and cause this error
• Do you have PRIVATE_KEY, WEBHOOK_SECRET and other similar .env values set in production? Verify them please.

Actually the problem was that Vercel was doing some verifications/parsing on webhook requests - I disabled that and now it works! Thanks
