Mandatory Pre-Update Steps for Flutter App

 Important
This major update includes breaking changes in the Flutter codebase.
Skipping any step below may cause build failures or loss of your custom changes.

Step 1 – Take a Working Code Backup (Mandatory)

Before starting the update:

  • Take a complete backup of your existing working Flutter code
  • Do not make any changes in this backup
  • Keep it safe for rollback or reference purposes

 This backup will be used as a security fallback if needed.

Step 2 – Use Supported Flutter SDK Version

This update is compatible only with the following Flutter version:

  • Flutter SDK: 3.32.0 (Stable)

 Using a different Flutter version may result in dependency or build issues.

Step 3 – Replace Entire Flutter Codebase

This is a breaking major update.

  • Replace your entire old Flutter project with the new updated code.
  • Do not merge files partially.

 Note:
For v4.0.0 – 3 Jan 2026 (BREAKING CHANGE), we have not provided an incremental zip, because almost all files have been updated.
You must replace the full code zip.

 Important:
After replacing the whole code zip, some files/folders in Android directory (e.g., app icons, Google JSON files, etc.) may need to be manually updated with your project-specific details.
These are minor changes on your side and won’t break the code, making it easy to update.
This update is essentially a full revamp, so it is critical to replace the whole codebase to avoid issues.

Customization Warning

  • Any customization done in your old code will be removed
  • You must re-apply custom changes manually
  • Please coordinate with your technical developer before performing this update

Step 4 – Clean & Run the Application

After replacing the code, run the following commands:

flutter clean
flutter pub get

Step 5 – Build, Run & Verify the App

After completing the update steps:

  1. Build the application and ensure it compiles successfully without any errors.
  2. Run the app on a physical device or emulator.
  3. Now you can use the new major updated app with a smoother and better user experience.

Important Notice

  • This update introduces major structural and dependency changes
  • Always keep a verified backup before proceeding
  • We strongly recommend performing this update with your developer’s assistance if your project includes customizations
