Summary

Last Wednesday when I built my production build without the APP_VARIANT environment variable, everything worked correctly. But today, with the same configuration, EAS thinks that I want to build the development version even when APP_VARIANT is not provided. You can see it below.

Project environment variables: SENTRY_ORG=klr SENTRY_PROJECT=driver-app __API_SERVER_URL=https://api.expo.dev/ EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL=our_url EXPO_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN=sentry_url EXPO_PUBLIC_WEBSOCKET_URL=websocket_url EXPO_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=clerk_key Environment secrets: EXPO_TOKEN=******** SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN=********

Using app configuration: { "name": "KLR Водій (Dev)", "slug": "DriverApp", "version": "1.0.0", "sdkVersion": "53.0.0", "platforms": [ "ios", "android", "web" ], "orientation": "portrait", "icon": "./assets/images/icon.png", "scheme": "driverapp", "userInterfaceStyle": "light", "newArchEnabled": true, "ios": { "supportsTablet": true, "bundleIdentifier": "com.klr.drivers.dev", "infoPlist": { "ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption": false } }, "android": { "edgeToEdgeEnabled": true, "package": "com.klr.drivers.dev", "permissions": [ "android.permission.CAMERA", "android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" ] }, }

So, the name is KLR Водій (Dev), but no APP_VARIANT in the build env variables. Here is my app.config functions to get the name and identifier

const getUniqueIdentifier = () => { if (IS_DEV) { return 'com.klr.drivers.dev' }

if (IS_PREVIEW) { return 'com.klr.drivers.preview' }

return 'com.klr.drivers' }

const getAppName = () => { if (IS_DEV) { return 'KLR Водій (Dev)' }

if (IS_PREVIEW) { return 'KLR Водій (Preview)' }

return 'KLR Водій' }

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

Try to build the project without APP_VARIANT. Somehow it thinks that you want to build DEVELOPMENT, not PRODUCTION
