Blocking render bug (#7435) โ€” "Generate Dynamic Children" stuck + grey screens in Run/Test AND compiled APK, no support response on paid plan

Troubleshooting

I'm on a paid plan and I've hit the render bug tracked in #7435 (and related #7443, #7449, #7479). Multiple pages show grey blocks instead of content, with Null check operator used on a null value and Uncaught TypeError: J.xx(...).yy is not a function in main.dart.js. The pages render fine in the editor โ€” only at runtime they break.

A few things I want to flag that I hope help the team:

1; It also reproduces in a compiled release APK, not just the web Run/Test preview. Since the APK runs native Dart rather than the web JS, this points to something deeper than a web-only issue.

2; It's independently reproduced on blank projects in #7479: "Generate Dynamic Children" shows as active with Value = UNSET on all Columns/Rows and can't be removed or reset, causing grey areas in Run/Test. I ran into exactly this myself โ€”
dynamic-children state that behaves as if it's set on widgets where it isn't, and values that can't be selected or cleared.

3; The team initially suggested this is expected behavior, or caused by Page/App State variables without default values, or null Firestore values. But multiple users confirm it happens on brand-new projects with no state, queries, or custom code at all โ€” so that explanation doesn't seem to hold.

4; The breakage spread over time to pages that previously worked, eventually reaching the last page I could still use โ€” so it's now blocking my core functionality.

I emailed support ([email protected]) on September 4th with my bug report code, plus a follow-up, but I've had no response in almost a week, and my plan has already renewed in the meantime.

Could anyone from the team share an update on the fix timeline for #7435? And is there a known workaround for the stuck "Generate Dynamic Children" state in the meantime? Any help would be appreciated.

What have you tried so far?

I've done extensive troubleshooting and ruled out my own project as the cause:

Confirmed all Supabase data, RPCs and views return complete, correct data; all Custom Actions are null-safe; Page/App State variables have proper defaults.

Checked the Issues panel: no errors, only pre-existing harmless warnings that were also present in working versions.

The affected pages render correctly in the editor โ€” only at runtime (Run/Test and compiled APK) they break.

Tried removing/resetting the "Generate Dynamic Children" state on affected Columns/Rows โ€” it appears active with Value = UNSET and cannot be removed or reset.

Built a compiled release APK to rule out the web JS layer โ€” the same grey screens appear, confirming it's not web-only.

Reported it via GitHub (my issue #7443 was closed as duplicate of #7435) and emailed [email protected] on Sep 4 plus a follow-up, with no response.

The same behavior is independently reproduced on blank projects in #7479, so it doesn't appear to be project-specific.
