Does simple --dart-define works for you?

@pdenert

in my case I use

abstract class EnvProps {
  static const _myEnvVar = String.fromEnvironment("myEnvVar");
....
}

--dart-define-from-file=".env.json" and basically my file:

{ "myEnvVar":"someSecretValue" }

this is useful for passing apiUrl, some secret tokens that are being used for the build of the app itself
