Summary

The recent changes has been a big disappointment. Broke the code and having to spend hours to get environment variables fix. Why not just let user push env file to the eas including secrets. Now I have to convert all variables to non-secret just to pass the file. If the need is that critical have a flag that allows to keep using old. Expo/EAS upgrade is the most dreading part of developer experience. Please improve it.

If I use EXPO_SENSITIVE_ as prefix will I have to change the variable all in the code or it auto removes the prefix.

Managed or bare?
