Can't get most basic multi env to work.

I just need the most basic setup, but can't seem to get it up and running. My setup:

• I have 2 env files: .env and .env.production
• babel.config.js: plugins: [ ["module:react-native-dotenv"] ]
• the code: import {API_URL} from '@env'; console.log(API_URL);

Regardless of how I run the project, it only spits out the .env values. What I've tried:

• APP_ENV=production npx react-native run-ios
• NODE_ENV=production npx react-native run-ios
• APP_ENV=production npx react-native start then run the ios from separate terminal window
• NODE_ENV=production npx react-native start same as above.

Did I miss anything obvious?

Figured it out. Needed to run start --resetCache in between (and sometimes, needed to re-start a couple more times for the changes to pickup).

A bit annoying since run-ios/android doesn't pass through --resetCache, this doesn't work with my flow. And at this point APP_ENV=production yarn start --resetCache might as well becomes cp .env.production .env && yarn start --resetCache.

A simple config.js file may fit me better at this point. Maybe i'll revisit this plugin in the future. Thanks!

for now! this is also a sign that the addExternalDependencies feature is not working for you. I really hope that once we get #377 straightened out that you won't need to clear the cache by hand
