Live/test mode is mixed
Stripe, Supabase, email, OAuth, API keys, or webhook secrets are pointing at different environments.
Launch checklist
10 reasons your AI-built app is not ready to launch yet.
Use this before buying a diagnosis. If three or more of these are still unclear, the app probably needs a rescue pass before real users or customers touch it.
Auth works once, then loops
Redirect URLs, session storage, callback paths, and protected routes do not agree after deployment.
Payments do not fulfill anything
Checkout succeeds, but the app never updates the user, order, subscription, entitlement, or receipt state.
The database shape drifted
The UI expects fields or tables that do not match the real schema, migrations, permissions, or generated types.
The build only works locally
Production fails because of server/client boundaries, missing variables, dependency issues, or hosting assumptions.
Mobile users cannot finish
Navigation, forms, buttons, modals, and checkout paths need actual viewport testing, not just desktop screenshots.
Error states are invisible
Users get stuck because validation, loading states, empty states, failed payments, and permission errors are not handled.
Admin workflows are missing
Someone needs to manage users, requests, orders, generated content, approvals, refunds, or exports after launch.
The AI keeps rewriting symptoms
Every prompt changes the visible bug but not the underlying architecture, data flow, or integration contract.
There is no handoff record
You need launch notes: what changed, what was verified, which secrets exist, and what to watch after launch.
