Description

Nothing enforces this env var at build time; a release build without it throws "No API URL configured" on every request instead of failing at build time. Should be a build-time check, not a runtime surprise.

Start by locating where EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL is read and where release builds are configured. Add a build-time check for the missing variable and verify that a release build fails before runtime when it is absent.
