FlutterFlow · Move in steps

Keep FlutterFlow for screens while you move one part to your own build path

You still need the builder for screens — that is fine. Move one part onto your CI ship path: secrets, sign-in, or store uploads. Write how to put that part back on builder Deploy before you start another. This page is about keeping builder screens while one part moves to CI. It is not a cut-Deploy weekend.

In plain words

Answer you can cite

Transition means builder screens stay useful while you relocate one part — secrets, sign-in, or store ship — onto CI. Both tracks can run briefly. You reverse the part before you start another. A part is done when CI answers for it and the builder is only a backup for that part.

Why moving in steps gets its own page

All-at-once store flips scare teams that still need the builder

Migrate and get-off assume you are ready to cut Deploy. Many teams are not. They need screens safe on the builder while one piece moves to CI.

  • Flipping secrets, sign-in, and store tracks together

    Looks tidy on a whiteboard. Messy when all three fail on the same night. Move one, prove it, then pick the next.

  • No written reverse for the part you just moved

    If you cannot put that part back on builder Deploy in a known time, you do not have a transition. You have a gamble.

  • Builder tweak and patched export with no rule

    Two editors on the same screen and nobody reconciles. Drift is how “we already fixed that” returns next week.

  • Store and login accounts still look personal

    If TestFlight, Play, or payments sit under one founder login, ownership is the first part to move — even while the builder still serves previews.

The builder-screens + CI order

Keep screens on the builder, move one part to CI, undo it once, then pick the next

CI ship hardens first. Builder stays for screens until parity is proved.

01

Freeze critical builder-only paths for production binaries

Exploration okay; production uploads need a reviewed Code Download.

02

Stand CI ship beside builder Deploy

Both can answer for that part.

03

Move secrets and sign-in one part at a time

Prove reverse. Then retire builder Deploy for that part.

04

Document who owns which track this week

No silent dual edits on the same screen.

How to

How to move one FlutterFlow part to CI without downtime

Keep builder screens. Undo each move before the next. Keep users safe.

  1. Step 01

    Name the first CI part

    Secrets, sign-in, or store ship — not all three.

  2. Step 02

    Stand CI ship beside builder Deploy

    Both can answer for that part.

  3. Step 03

    Prove reverse in writing

    Known time to put the part back on builder Deploy.

  4. Step 04

    Switch that part over when both sides match

    Watch. Support knows both tracks.

  5. Step 05

    Pick the next part only after the reverse window closes

    Finish one move before you start another.

What does moving off FlutterFlow in steps, while keeping builder screens, look like?

Freeze critical builder-only production paths → stand Code Download + CI → migrate secrets and sign-in one part at a time → prove parity → require CI uploads → retire Deploy for that part. Reversible until the final ship kill-switch.

Can we dual-track builder screens and CI binaries without downtime?

Yes — allow builder work for exploration while production uploads only through reviewed CI, then tighten when crash-free gates hold. Phased store rollout helps. Downtime stays planned near zero.

Who owns what while builder screens stay live?

Write it down: which screens the builder may still change, which binaries CI owns, who holds signing keys. Unowned dual edits are how drift returns.

When is a FlutterFlow transition the wrong page?

When you already need a full practiced exit this week, or when you only need a wrap before strangers download. Then migrate, get-off, or harden is the honest page.

Keep builder screens. Move one part to CI at a time.

Bring the builder-only list and the CI path you already have. We move each part with a way to undo it before we tighten the next gate.
