Environments

Understand how to configure and manage different environments for your apps.

Development

For local development and testing

Development builds include development tools and allow you to test your app with hot reloading. These builds are typically used during active development.

Staging

For internal testing and QA

Staging builds are production-like but configured for testing environments. Use these to test features before releasing to production.

Production

For app store releases

Production builds are optimized, minified, and ready for release. These are what you submit to App Store and Google Play.

Environment Variables

Each environment can have its own set of environment variables. Configure these in your project settings:

  • • API endpoints (development vs production)
  • • Feature flags
  • • Third-party service keys
  • • Debug settings
