Regarding Dev-Staging-Prod Environments (Flavors in Flutter).

Hello everybody!

We are a couple of software engineers and have been doing web development for a couple of years. We discovered FlutterFlow about a year ago when we were developing a Flutter application with FireBase which needed to be developed quickly.

In short, we were amazed by what FlutterFlow could do and how quickly and agile the development was, both for us and the FlutterFlow builder. We created an MVP of our App which went great.

We did however have to stop using FlutterFlow and had to pull the code and start developing on our own since there were a couple of problems regarding the development phase.

In any project, we need to be able to have Dev-Staging-Production environments and need to be able to easily switch between our dev and prod databases. We used Flutter Flavors to be able to achieve this once we pulled the code and developed on our own.

We decided to not use FlutterFlow anymore because of this, since its both a huge risk in development but it also creates an extremely stressful environment for developers.

Now its been some time and we were wondering what the status of the environments are and how the community is handling this?

I read that you can branch out now in FlutterFlow, but how are you changing easily between your FireBase Projects?
