Generate environment specific configuration #81

Closed DigitalSeneca closed 9 months ago

DigitalSeneca commented 9 months ago

fixes #41

Description of changes

To use different environment variables, dart requires the app to have different entry points (ie different files, main_prod.dart and main_dev.dart)
This makes easier the future implementation of Automate release of new versions to google play / apple store

How to use

To start in dev: Run the file main_dev.dart, or in cmd: flutter run -t lib/main_dev.dart
By default the app is started in prod mode. It can also be started in prod mode by running any of the following:
- Run main.dart or main_prod.dart
- Run flutter run or flutter run -t lib/main_prod.dart

I'd rather go for using prod as default instead of dev, just to avoid accidentally releasing new apps with dev configurations.

done

By the way, could you take a look at https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/128668 ? It seems from flutter 3.13 there is native support for .env files (see --dart-define-from-file)

I upgraded from flutter 3.0.0 to 3.13 to try it, but this upgrade generate errors in the code due to dependencies deprecations. So before being able to try this, some dependencies should be handled
