Eventually, I used a flutter feature called flavors which works for Android and iOS. Here is the guide I followed : [this video] For devs using VS Code, I created a VS Code config file to make launching the apps in the different flavors easier : { "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name": "Launch Development", "request": "launch", "type": "dart", "program": "lib/main_dev.dart", "args" : ["--flavor", "development", "--target", "lib/main_dev.dart"], // ? Keep flutterMode "flutterMode": "debug", }, { "name": "Launch Production", "request": "launch", "type": "dart", "program": "lib/main_prod.dart", "args": ["--flavor", "production", "--target", "lib/main_prod.dart"], // ? Keep flutterMode "fl

I recently added Flutter Flavors to my Flutter project because I wanted production, staging, and development environments. I also wanted different Firebase projects for each flavor so I created a config folder with their own each individual folder for each Firebase Project GoogleService-Info.plist files [LINK] I also added this Build Phase Script in the Runner Target - environment="default" # Regex to extract the scheme name from the Build Configuration # We have named our Build Configurations as Debug-dev, Debug-prod etc. # Here, dev and prod are the scheme names. This kind of naming is required by Flutter for flavors to work. # We are using the $CONFIGURATION variable available in the XCod

Our flutter app has flavors. Thanks to this awesome tutorial: Flutter Flavors, App Icons, and Firebase Tutorial [this video] I was able to follow everything and run it in my ios simulator. Great, so what happened? Since my Macbook is not allowed to update the OS anymore (it's a 2017 Macbook pro), I was planning to purchase a new Macbook. So I pushed my changes EXCEPT the most important file which is the schemes ( development ). I renamed the default Runner scheme to production as per the tutorial. Fast forward, I've setup flutter and everything to my new macbook and cloned the app. At first, it was showing issues about 'flavor' . Because again, the schemes weren't included. So I manually recreate
