Example of Package.swift with environment variables support

enum Enviroment: String {
	static let `default`: Enviroment = .development

	case development, production
	
	static func get() -> Enviroment {

var dependencies: [Package.Dependency] = [
	.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/vapor.git", from: "3.1.0"),
	.package(url: "https://github.com/Sorix/whirr-feedback-api-model", .branch("develop"))
]

var appTargetDependencies: [Target.Dependency] = ["Vapor", "FluentSQLite", "APIModel", "GooglePlaces"]

switch Enviroment.get() {
case .production:
	dependencies.append(.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/fluent-postgresql.git", from: "1.0.0"))
	appTargetDependencies.append("FluentPostgreSQL")

let package = Package(
    name: "backend",
    dependencies: dependencies,
    targets: [
        .target(name: "GooglePlaces", dependencies: ["Vapor"]),
        .target(name: "App", dependencies: appTargetDependencies),
        .target(name: "Run", dependencies: ["App"]),
        .testTarget(name: "AppTests", dependencies: ["App"])
    ]
)

where will we be setting ENV_TYPE ?

I have the same question

@Fab1n we can either set it in repo secrets,
If we are running local then its under xcode -> scheme -> env variables.

Xcode scheme env variables didn’t work for me

You can pass env variables directly to xcodebuild or if using fastlane you can set env vars in Fastfile. Wasn’t able to use xcode scheme env vars. Maybe someone can check again.

Xcode scheme env variables are for app run, not for build time, that's why this doesn't work.
