add babel.config.js

plugins: [
    [
      "module:react-native-dotenv",
      {
        envName: "APP_ENV",
        moduleName: "@env",
        path: ".env"
      }
    ]
  ]

huh...I'm working on debugging some issues with the Babel team and I'm hoping it resolves a bunch of these, but i will also experiment shortly

Is this still an issue?

goatandsheep commented

I'm not seeing the issue to be honest, but i'm assuming it's a caching issue

Can you try again with latest version?

dinumihnea commented

From the documentation is not clear at which moment the env vars get populated.

If you're trying to use the env var at the top level in a file (e.g. right after imports), the value will come up as undefined.
Is there a specific rule with that while using this library?

Can you show me the error? I will create a how it works section I guess haha

Thanks for the fast reply, so it turns out that the issue was the fact that I didn't restart the Metro server after configuring the plugin😅. It works fine now.
