Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Lack of debug mode in the settings - Troubleshoot for IOS Hybrid app

What is the root cause of that problem?

We always return Production for HybridAppModule here:

App/src/libs/Environment/getEnvironment/index.native.ts

Lines 33 to 36 in d77a4fd

	if (NativeModules.HybridAppModule) {
	environment = CONST.ENVIRONMENT.PRODUCTION;
	return;
	}

That's the RCA.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should remove this block of code:

 if (NativeModules.HybridAppModule) { 
     environment = CONST.ENVIRONMENT.PRODUCTION; 
     return; 
 } 

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
