Summary

I am running
eas build -p ios -e production, and my profile(which refers -e) is dynamic value from development to production

I have GoogleServices-Info.plist file stored in eas secret, and i have two of them. one for development and one for production.
I have app.config.js file selecting the correct google services file for my environment and this flow works well (checked in eas build log)

the problem is, I think the prebuild step should run every time when i change my environment so that the correct plist file should be mapped in ios directory. but prebuild is always being skipped because i have ios directory.

1. I am not sure this is a proper(recommended) approach for branching google-services. if it is not recommended way, i want to know other options to branch it.
2. what are the ways to trigger prebuild script to run whether I have ios directory or not? seems there is no way to re-prebuild.

thx

Managed or bare?

I don't believe it's necessary, I mean if you are on the bare workflow I believe you don't need to do prebuild with app config pointing to the correct GoogleService-Info.plist every time. You need to restore your GoogleService-Info.plist secret to your ios directory vs putting it somewhere else and making prebuild do it. You can use the pre-install hook to do it.
