why my react native dotenv is not working?

Question

I want to use react-native-dotenv but its not working.

https://github.com/zetachang/react-native-dotenv

I created a .env file and added a FB_ID=21221

then I go to babel and edited like this:

module.exports = function(api) {
  api.cache(true);
  return {
    presets: ['babel-preset-expo', 'react-native-dotenv'],
    plugins: ['react-native-reanimated/plugin'],
  };
};

I restarted it and want to access FB_ID but its not exists

react-native-dotenv maintainer. This is an old version of the documentation. The new documentation is on npm. This library is now a plugin not a preset. try plugins: ['react-native-reanimated/plugin', 'module:react-native-dotenv']. Also, the api.cache(true) doesn't help. Try api.cache(false) instead.
