How would you manage different backend environments in a Flutter project?
Tests Flutter build flavors and compile-time config injection. A strong answer uses dart-define or flavor-specific entry points plus an EnvironmentConfig abstraction. A red flag is manually swapping hard-coded base URLs before each build.
This tests whether you understand compile-time configuration in Flutter and can separate environment concerns from business logic. A solid approach uses Flutter flavors to define distinct main entry points, combines them with dart-define for string injection, and centralizes values behind an EnvironmentConfig class consumed by the API layer. This prevents accidental production misconfigurations and keeps environment logic out of widgets.
