🛠️ DEVELOPMENT TASK - Code Cleanup

Task Type: Code Quality & Performance
Platform: FlutterFlow Project
Status: Investigation Incomplete - Need Production Environment Testing

Problem:

Debug print statements may be showing in production builds, which can:

• Impact app performance

• Expose sensitive information in logs

• Create unnecessary console output for end users

• Clutter production logging

Current Evidence: Development environment (https://scheduler-dev-55c72.web.app/) contains print statements
⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is the DEV environment - prints may be expected here!

📝 Console Output from DEV Environment:

🔍 Debug Print Statements Found (DEV):

Custom Code Prints:

• initialized

• isNotDetermined: true

• START HELLO LANGUAGE PROCESS

• languageCode: en

• Hello

• Interval from getHello process: [number]

• Interval from schedule involved query: [number]

• IS DEBUG MODE: FALSE (indicates this might be a release-mode build)

• []

• ENTITLEMENTS NOT SET

• appRateCount: 0

• AppLifecycleState.[state] (inactive, hidden, resumed)

• App is in [state] state (inactive, foreground)

• Instance of 'minified:a28'

• User availability updated to [true/false]

• null (repeated multiple times)

Plugin/System Messages:

• In-App Messaging not supported on web platform

• RevenueCat is not supported on web.

• [Intercom] Launcher is disabled in settings...

🔍 Investigation Status:

❓ Key Question: What is the DEV environment build mode?

Evidence Analysis:

• IS DEBUG MODE: FALSE suggests this might be a release build

• But it's deployed as "dev" environment - could be release mode for testing

• Heavy print output suggests debug behavior despite "FALSE" flag

🎯 Next Steps Required:

1. 📍 Check Production Environment

   • Test the actual production URL

   • Compare console output with dev environment

   • Determine if prints appear in true production

2. 🔍 Understand Build Configuration

   • What build mode is used for dev environment?

   • What build mode is used for production?

   • Are prints being stripped correctly in production builds?

3. 🧑‍💻 Verify Debug Mode Detection

   • Why does IS DEBUG MODE: FALSE print if kDebugMode should prevent it?

   • Is kDebugMode working correctly in web builds?

Technical Implementation Required:

Phase 1: Investigation (CURRENT PRIORITY)

// First, verify how debug mode detection worksif (kDebugMode) {  print('This should only show in debug builds');} else {  print('This shows we are in release mode');}

Phase 2: Production Environment Testing

• Deploy to production and check console

• Compare dev vs production console output

• Determine if issue exists in production

Phase 3: Implementation (IF NEEDED)

• Wrap print statements with proper conditionals

• Configure plugin debug settings

• Test across build modes

Testing Plan:

🔴 IMMEDIATE: Production Environment Check

1. Deploy to Production: Ensure latest code is in production

2. Console Testing: Open production URL and check console

3. Comparison: Compare dev vs production console output

4. Documentation: Record findings to determine next steps

IF Production Has Prints:

1. Debug Build: Verify prints appear

2. Release Build: Verify prints are hidden

3. Web-Specific Testing: Check if web builds behave differently

Decision Matrix:

🟢 If Production Console is Clean:

• Result: No action needed - working as intended

• Dev Environment: Prints are acceptable for development

• Status: Close issue as "Working as Expected"

🟡 If Production Has Some Prints:

• Priority: Address only the most problematic ones

• Focus: Performance-impacting or security-sensitive prints

• Implementation: Selective cleanup

🔴 If Production Console is Messy:

• Priority: Full implementation required

• Scope: Comprehensive print statement cleanup

• Target: All custom code prints wrapped with conditionals

Success Criteria:

Phase 1 (Investigation):

• ✅ Production environment console tested

• ✅ Dev vs Production comparison completed

• ✅ Build mode configuration understood

• ✅ Decision made on implementation scope

Phase 2 (IF Implementation Needed):

• ✅ Production environment has clean console

• ✅ Development debugging capabilities preserved

• ✅ Plugin debug output properly controlled

• ✅ No performance impact on production builds

Notes:

Key Insight: Development environments may legitimately have debug output - the real test is production behavior.

Critical Question: What is the production URL and does it show the same console output?

Next Action: Test production environment before implementing any fixes.

Estimated Time:

• Investigation: 30 minutes

• Implementation (if needed): 2-3 hours
