Environment variables

Public ones available in the final frontend package go to .env prefixed with EXPO_PUBLIC_. Access them using environment.ts. Secrets go to Expo secrets (and are afterwards available in app.config.js - and probably elsewhere - as environment variables) - see Expo secrets docs.

You can create the usual array of .env files (.env.local, .env.development). Expect for .env*.local, the are all committed to git.
