I’m working on a React Native Expo project on a Mac, and I’m encountering an issue where my firebaseConfig.ts file does not seem to load correctly when my app starts. The app only recognizes the file and works as expected after I manually edit and save the firebaseConfig.ts file. This issue disrupts the development process and requires constant manual intervention.

What could be causing this problem, and how can I ensure that firebaseConfig.ts loads properly without needing to manually edit it each time?

I also use environment variables on my firebaseConfig.ts.

Steps I’ve tried to resolve the issue:

• Ensured the export and import paths are correct.
• Cleared the Metro bundler cache using expo start -c.
• Checked for proper hot reloading in Expo.
• Verified my editor’s file change detection settings.
