Q2
Hello Kate,
Thank you for reaching out to FlutterFlow support. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing
issues with your custom widget. Let's work together to resolve this.
Issue:
You have a custom widget cloned from the marketplace that fails to compile, and you're
encountering the error: The method 'FFAppState' isn't defined for the type
'_FFMultiSelectState'.
Solution:
When we clone the custom widget from the marketplace, it may not have cloned the app
state. So, to address the issue, this error typically occurs when FFAppState is not recognized
within your custom widget's scope. To resolve this, ensure that FFAppState is correctly added
to your project and accessible within your custom widget.

Have a look at this link for your reference. (The issue has been Solved in the reference link)
Explanation
Make sure the code you are passing to the widget is a valid index for the List<String> stored
in FFAppState().answers. This solution assumes that code is always intended to be an index
of the list. If the code has a different purpose, you might need to adjust this approach
accordingly.
1. Dependencies:
o Ensure all necessary dependencies for your custom widget are correctly added
in your Pubspec Dependencies. Missing or incorrect dependencies can cause
compilation issues.
2. Imports:
o Double-check the import statements in your custom widget code. Ensure that
all necessary libraries and files are correctly imported, and there are no
missing or incorrect imports.
3. Syntax Errors:
o Look for any syntax errors in the custom widget code. Even a small typo can
cause compilation to fail. Make sure the code follows Dart syntax rules.
4. State Management:
o If your custom widget relies on state management (like FFAppState in
FlutterFlow), ensure that it is correctly initialized and accessible within your
project. Make sure that “answers” has been added in the App State tab of
FlutterFlow and is defined as List<String>, which will automatically initialize
the app state in the main.dart file.
5. Flutter Version:
o Ensure that your Flutter version is compatible with the custom widget.
Sometimes, certain widgets may require a specific version of Flutter.
6. Error Messages:
o Pay close attention to the error messages provided during compilation. They
often contain specific information about what went wrong and where the issue
is located.
If you continue to experience issues, please provide the exact error message you're seeing
during compilation, and I'll be happy to assist you further.

Hello Kate,
Thank you for reaching out to FlutterFlow support. I understand you're encountering an issue
with deploying your app to the Apple Store, and I appreciate the detailed error message and
screenshots you provided. Let's go through the issue and its resolution.
Issue Explanation
The error message you're seeing indicates that your app's bundle version must be higher than
the previously uploaded version. Apple requires this to ensure that updates are properly
versioned and distinguishable from earlier versions.
Error Details
Resolution Steps
To resolve this issue, you need to increment the version number of your app before
attempting to upload it again. Here’s how you can do it using the FlutterFlow interface:
To avoid this issue in the future, always remember to increment your app's version number
each time you make updates and plan to deploy a new version. This practice ensures that your
versioning remains consistent and meets Apple’s requirements.

Hi Kate,
I'm Dhairya, and I'm here to help you with your issue. Based on the screenshots you
provided, it looks like your API endpoints are working perfectly when tested through
Postman but fail with a 404 error when called from FlutterFlow. You may also look for the
Flutter flow documentation here https://docs.flutterflow.io/data-and-backend/api-calls and
Handle API call in FlutterFlow here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNy-6xckc5M
2. Network Configuration:
o Verify if your local server is accessible from the network FlutterFlow is
running on. If FlutterFlow runs in an environment that cannot reach your local
server, the requests will fail.
o Consider exposing your local server to the internet using tools like ngrok to
create a secure tunnel. Update the API URL in FlutterFlow to use the ngrok
URL.
3. CORS Policy:
o Ensure that your local server is configured to allow cross-origin requests.
CORS issues can cause requests to be blocked. You can enable CORS in your
server settings or use middleware to handle it.
5. FlutterFlow Configuration:
o Double-check the API call settings in FlutterFlow. Ensure that the method
(GET, POST, etc.), headers, and body (if any) are correctly configured.
7. Debugging:
o Use browser developer tools to inspect the network requests made by
FlutterFlow. Look for any discrepancies or errors in the requests.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue causing the 404
error in FlutterFlow. If you need further assistance, please provide more details about your
server configuration and the exact setup in FlutterFlow.

Hi there,
I’m Dhairya. Thank you for sharing the details of your issue. Here are some steps to resolve
the text rendering problem in test mode:
1. Font Issues: Ensure custom fonts are correctly uploaded and specified. Try using
default fonts to see if the issue persists.
2. Text Color: Verify that the text colour contrasts well with the background.
Temporarily change the text colour to a bright colour to check visibility.
3. Visibility Conditions: Ensure there are no conditions hiding the text. Set visibility to
always show for testing purposes.
4. Debug Console: Check for errors or warnings in the debug console that might
indicate rendering issues.
The Last step you can do is copy the parent widget of the page, create a new project/page,
and paste it into it. I have performed this step, and the issue is resolved. Try doing the same. I
have attached the link to the current test project for your reference.

Addressing these areas will resolve the text rendering issue. If you need further assistance,
please let me know.
Best regards,

To ensure a great Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) and a more positive customer
experience, here are some of my personal suggestions on how the interaction with the
customer could have been improved:
Initial Response
Continuous Engagement
4. Frequent Check-ins: After providing steps, check in frequently and promptly to see
if the issue has been resolved.
o Example: "Hi Kate, just checking in to see if the steps provided helped
improve the performance. Let me know if the issue persists so we can explore
other solutions."
Comprehensive Solutions
6. Transparency About Limitations: Be transparent about known issues and the steps
being taken to resolve them.
o Example: "We are aware of some performance issues with Flutter on the web,
particularly on Chrome. Our development team is actively working on
improving this. Your feedback is invaluable, and we're committed to
enhancing the performance as soon as possible."
Closing the Conversation
7. Positive Closing: End the conversation positively, expressing gratitude for their
patience and reassurance.
o Example: "Thank you for your patience and understanding, Kate. We are here
to support you and will keep you updated on any progress regarding the
performance improvements. Have a great day, and don't hesitate to reach out if
you have any more questions or concerns."
Applying these steps would make the support interaction more responsive, detailed, and
empathetic, leading to a better overall customer experience and a higher CSAT score.
Q7 Bonus
Hello Kate,
Thank you for sharing the link to your project. I see that you've correctly set up the profile
picture and the "Change Photo" button actions. When you upload a file (media or otherwise)
using the Upload Data widget, FlutterFlow generates the URL in compliance with Firebase
security. It adds the required token for each file in the URL, and the same is returned by the
"Widget State -> Uploaded File URL" that is used to update your document/image field. This
is also applicable for any static media asset files (for example, default user avatar image) you
upload from the Firebase console. When you examine the URL for such a file, you should see
the token as part of the URL.
3. Ensure UI Reactivity:
o Make sure the image widget displaying the profile picture is bound to the
photoURL field of the authenticated user.
o From your project, it looks like you have correctly set the image widget to use
the Authenticated User's Photo URL. This is good. Just ensure that this
variable is updated in real-time when the Firestore document is updated.
1. Upload Image:
o Ensure that the "Change Photo" button uploads the image to Firebase Storage
correctly.
3. Update Firestore:
o Use the download URL to update the photoURL field of the authenticated user
in Firestore.
4. Refresh UI:
o Ensure that the image widget bound to the photoURL field reflects the new
URL.
To upload an image to Firebase Storage and store its URL in Firestore using FlutterFlow,
ensure you have configured Firebase in your FlutterFlow project and have the necessary
Firebase Storage and Firestore rules set up to allow for file upload and database writes.
Set Up Actions:
o In the actions panel for that widget, choose the option to upload the image,
selecting Firebase Storage as the destination. FlutterFlow will handle the
upload process and provide you with a URL once the upload is complete.
FlutterFlow’s visual interface will guide you through setting up these actions without writing
any code. For detailed visual guides or tutorials, consider looking into FlutterFlow's
documentation or tutorial videos covering tasks like image uploading and integration with
Firebase services. https://docs.flutterflow.io/actions/actions/utilities/upload-data/upload-save-
file and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xofe79Vz0jM
If you continue to experience issues, please provide access to your project so I can review the
setup more thoroughly.
