You forgot to mention that we have to add .env to .yaml file as Assets, which is mentioned in the official documentation.
but thanks for the video
Yes, you are right, just skipped that part while editing.
thank you very much
Hi, thks for your video! didnt know about that package so far. was just wondering, if that .env file will be shipped to the client, so it could be exploited via reverse engineering?
It is hard but it is still possible to get the key,values using reverse engineering . We can use encryption and decryption techniques on the .env values to make them more secure and difficult to hack.
Great video. Is it necessary to print in the init state?
No not required , just use for testing.
thought so.. thanks for the video@@Snehasis4321
But, it's still plain text storage. How could you deal with reverse engineering attacks?
you can use encryption and decryption techniques to hide the keys. if hacker get the .env file will be difficult to find the exact keys.
Hi Snehasis are you from kolkata? Can you make a tutorial of voice room, live stream with webrtc. If you will do than It will be really helpful for us.
