'How to run expo start with release-channels

I want to try running my react native app locally but against my staging and/or production server. I'm looking to do this by setting a release-channel variable when I run expo start. I hope this can test/foreshadow some performance in beta and production.

I tried the command expo start --release-channel staging and I got an error error: unknown option '--release-channel'

How can I set Constants.manifest.releaseChannel when I run expo start?

react-native expo

To those who also try to use environment within expo but for the web target,

My solution is to use cp to overwrite the prod configuration in prebuild script:

# fix --release-channel not available for web yet
cp -f src/config/env/staging.js src/config/env/prod.js

I also got tips from expo tips that the --release-channel feature is not available for web, this is the only way I have found so far.

react-native run-android --variant=release & react-native run-ios --configuration Release maybe would help :)
