Can't start app on ios simulator with regtest

[holzeis]

1. Start ios simulator
2. Run NETWORK=regtest flutter run
3. Select ios if necessary

The app starts against the default setting testnet instead of regtest

flutter: {_TenTenOneState} {setupRustLogging} {ten_ten_one::wallet: event rust/src/wallet.rs:81: electrum_str: ssl://blockstream.info:993,message: Creating the wallet,network: Testnet}

@klochowicz do we need #215 after all?

[klochowicz]

@holzeis , what's the use-case? we can fully test the library with a native build on regtest, and use the simulator with testnet to ensure the widgets work well.

Would --dart-define allow us to read these properties inside the simulator? Then this solution might actually be superior.

The problem with the environment variables is, that we cannot set them inside the simulator. Will we be able to set the arguments when running the app inside the simulator?

well, you can do that, but it's not the nicest developer experience in my point of view, given that you could achieve the same thing with using --dart-define instead of environment variables.

Yes! like environment variables.

--dart-define does not seem to work on the simulator.

[holzeis]

It does, you have to use const though - very weird.

@bonomat It's unfortuntely not possible to access the arguments passed through --dart-define directly in rust. They haved to be passed through flutter.
