Why does the viewer uses developer-dev.api.autodesk.com instead of the developer.api.autodesk.com resulting in invalid tokens?

Question

The viewer v7 uses https://developer-dev.api.autodesk.com/modelderivative/v2/designdata/:urn/manifest instead of https://developer.api.autodesk.com/modelderivative/v2/designdata/:urn/manifest which seems to prevent the viewer from getting the manifest data. The developer-dev host answers with:

{
    "developerMessage": "The token has expired or is invalid",
    "moreInfo": "https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/oauth/v2/developers_guide/error_handling/",
    "errorCode": "AUTH-006"
}

The same token works for the developer host just fine.

Does anyone know why the token only works for the developer host or why the viewer uses the developer-dev host instead of the developer host?

The Forge Viewer definitely does not connect to https://developer-dev.api.autodesk.com by default. For example, this basic Forge app is using viewer version 7.*: https://forge-basic-app.herokuapp.com, and it only communicates with https://developer.api.autodesk.com.

Are you perhaps using any custom settings when using the Autodesk.Viewing.Initializer or when instantiating the actual viewer object?

Thank you! I set the env option to AutodeskDevelopment instead of AutodeskProduction. This resolved my problem!
