Hello @VikasAgrawal-04.
I see you are trying to access the Environment Variables in your codebase.

One way to do this is:

• Add your environment variables to Codemagic UI as you have done in screenshots you shared
• When building the flutter app, add --dart-define to your scripts. E.g --dart-define=NAME=$NAME

• You can now access these variables in your code with String.fromEnvironment method. Example: String.fromEnvironment('NAME')

You can also checkout this for more ways of handling environment variables. Please let me know if this helps.

Another easy way to go about this is by creating a local .env file in a pre-build script and then populate the variables to .env during the build:

echo "API_KEY=$API_KEY" > .env
echo "CLIENT_SECRET=$CLIENT_SECRET" >> .env
