Summary

When running eas device:create I get the following error:

google-sign-in without Firebase config plugin: Missing `iosUrlScheme` in provided options: {}
    Error: device:create command failed.

I am configuring the iosUrlScheme using eas.json and .env files:

        '@react-native-google-signin/google-signin',
        {
          iosUrlScheme: process.env.REVERSED_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
        },

.env

#GOOGLE SIGN IN
REVERSED_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID = com.googleusercontent.apps.EXAMPLE

eas.json

    "preview": {
      "distribution": "internal",
      "env": {
        "REVERSED_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID": "com.googleusercontent.apps.EXAMPLE

Managed or bare?

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

Setup google authentication as described here:
https://docs.expo.dev/guides/google-authentication/
and make your app.config.js to load like:

        '@react-native-google-signin/google-signin',
        {
          iosUrlScheme: process.env.REVERSED_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
        },

Run eas device:create

As of today, EAS CLI does not support .env files at all. Only Expo CLI does (npx expo ...). The eas device:create command also doesn't work with build profiles 🤔 So probably to make it work you would need to do REVERSED_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=value eas device:create. We should probably let people use env vars in some way with it though 🤔.

I don't have an issue with other EAS CLI commands as they reference the profile and use EAS.json. The device:create command doesn't look in eas.json or .env.

Alternatively, does create:device really need to do any validation?
