App Update Instructions (Mandatory \u2013 Major Update)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f Important<\/strong>
This major update includes breaking changes<\/strong> in the Flutter codebase.
Skipping any step below may cause build failures or loss of your custom changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 \u2013 Take a Working Code Backup (Mandatory)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before starting the update:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Take a complete backup<\/strong> of your existing working Flutter code<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Do not<\/strong> make any changes in this backup<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Keep it safe for rollback or reference purposes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udc49 This backup will be used as a security fallback<\/strong> if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2 \u2013 Use Supported Flutter SDK Version<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This update is compatible only<\/strong> with the following Flutter version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Flutter SDK: 3.38.x (Stable)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      \u26a0\ufe0f Using a different Flutter version may result in dependency or build issues<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 3 \u2013 Replace Entire Flutter Codebase<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      This is a breaking major update<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Replace your entire old Flutter project<\/strong> with the new updated code<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Do not merge files partially<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udccc Note:<\/strong>
        For v2.0.0 \u2013 30 Dec 2025 (BREAKING CHANGE)<\/strong>, we have not provided an incremental zip<\/strong>, because almost all files have been updated.
        You must replace the full code zip<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u26a0\ufe0f Important:<\/strong>
        After replacing the whole code zip, some files\/folders in Android<\/strong> and iOS<\/strong> directories (e.g., app icons, Google JSON files, GoogleService-Info.plist<\/strong>, etc.) may need to be manually updated with your project-specific details<\/strong>.
        These are minor changes<\/strong> on your side and won\u2019t break the code<\/strong>, making it easy to update.
        This update is essentially a full revamp<\/strong>, so it is critical to replace the whole codebase<\/strong> to avoid issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Customization Warning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Any customization done in your old code will be removed<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • You must re-apply custom changes manually<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Please coordinate with your technical developer<\/strong> before performing this update<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Step 4 \u2013 Clean & Run the Application<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          After replacing the code, run the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          flutter clean
          flutter pub get<\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
          <\/p>\n\n\n\n
          Step 5 \u2013 Build, Run & Verify the App<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          After completing the update steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Build the application<\/strong> and ensure it compiles successfully without any errors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Run the app<\/strong> on a physical device or emulator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Now you can use the new major updated app<\/strong> with a smoother and better user experience<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n
            Important Notice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • This update introduces major structural and dependency changes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Always keep a verified backup before proceeding<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • We strongly recommend<\/strong> performing this update with your developer\u2019s assistance<\/strong> if your project includes customizations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
