Covers the native↔Flutter bridge in detail: how live sessions, secrets, and config cross the boundary without a second login; the FlutterEngineGroup lifecycle strategy (fresh engine per flow, destroyed on exit); and an honest admission about a hard-coded delay(1500) race condition that survived every sprint. Also covers the two-tiered rollback system (remote config flag + Maven version pin), standalone development mode for Flutter-only iteration, and testing strategy using riverpod_test and mocktail with provider overrides to fake the native bridge. Concludes with honest results — migration was still in progress when the author left — and key lessons: build the ready-signal on day one, define the native-code freeze policy before the first feature ships. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
