Flutter Environment Configuration
- Flavors (Build Configuration): This method involves setting up different flavors in Android and iOS to handle different environments. While it is a native feature for Android and iOS, it doesn't support web, desktop, or embedded platforms. Managing environment variables and secret keys can also be challenging with this method.
- Entry point: This method involves targeting different environments by using different entry points in your Flutter application. It supports all operating systems compatible with Flutter and is easy to roll out and add new environments.
- .env files: This method involves creating .env files containing environment variables and running the app via terminal commands. It supports all operating systems compatible with Flutter and allows easy management of environment variables. However, it is more suitable for web applications with Flutter. Overall, the choice of environment setup method depends on the specific requirements of your application and the platforms you are targeting.
