React-native-config: Doesn't Work

[timscott]

Sorry for the terse subject, but I don't know what else to say.

To install I ran:

yarn add react-native-config
react-native link react-native-config

I have .env file in my root folder:

API_URL=http://192.168.1.175:8080/graphql

At the entry point of my app I have:

import Config from 'react-native-config';
console.log(Config);

Which outputs:

APPLICATION_ID: "com.myapp"
BUILD_TYPE: "debug"
DEBUG: true
FLAVOR: ""
VERSION_CODE: 1
VERSION_NAME: "1.0"

And Config.API_URL is undefined.

Same result on iOS and Android. It seems dead simple, and I can't see what could be wrong other than a bug. Ideas?

Sorry, correction. It does work on iOS after react-native run-ios. No luck on Android after restarting the simulator, clearing cache and repackaging.

Hi Tim! did you add apply from... to your Gradle config as mentioned here?

@pedro I just noticed that from another issue. Thanks. Might be good to add that to the linking if possible or make it more prominent in doc since it's not optional.
