.gitignore files gone from code generation + massive unexpected/surprising diff

[isegal]

Has your issue been reported?

• I have searched the existing issues and confirm it has not been reported.

Current Behavior

It appears today's update has caused a massive diff in terms of code generation.

The most concerning changes is the removal of .gitignore files as well as rearranging of imports.

The imports were rearranged in all generated files as follows:

* screenshots from flutterflow branch

.gitignore were deleted:

The removal of gitignore is causing git status to show thousands of changes due to ios/android and other generated files to show up as untracked:

If this is change is on purpose, what is the recommendation in terms of .gitignore as per this workflow? https://docs.flutterflow.io/customizing-your-app/manage-custom-code-in-github

Expected Behavior

Expected:

git status should not show show any untracked files (as with prior version)

Steps To Reproduce

1. Commit any project that existed prior to today's update to git.

Examine the commit in flutterflow branch on github.
Result: .gitignore files will be gone

Context

Today as we pushed code from FF that was meant to be a minor patch (which coincidentally we urgently needed to reploy to production), it ended up committing a massive diff with hundreds of files changed and we unexpectedly had to delay our deployment indefinitely until we review all the changes and understand what this update contains.

Hi @isegal, the import change is intentional, the .gitignore removal is not. I'll take a look soon, as that sounds less than ideal. Where are you seeing all the untracked files, etc.?

[pierrecorbay]

I confirm, the .gitignore, android/.gitignore and ios/.gitignore were removed with the first GitHub push I did on the new FF update.

@isegal Thanks for reporting the issue. We added .gitignore files back. The import change, as mentioned above, is intentional.
