PDIAP-14859 - Spike - Research strategy to remove final UIKit wrapping from XFlowSDK and XFlowViewMaker without disrupting consumer implementation

Status

  • Active
  • Rollout draft prepared and sent to Jeff for review on April 13, 2026

Current Framing

  • Approved title: Spike - Research strategy to remove final UIKit wrapping from XFlowSDK and XFlowViewMaker without disrupting consumer implementation.
  • This work is currently framed in the workspace as a dual UIKit/SwiftUI plan that removes UIHostingController dynamically while preserving both flows appropriately.
  • The remaining deliverable is process-oriented, not just technical implementation.

Current Scope

  • Define a consumer-facing rollout plan for the broader UIKit-removal work.
  • Preserve both UIKit and SwiftUI paths appropriately while introducing the new path safely.
  • Cover risky entry points such as FTTransfer, while keeping the latest spike finding explicit that consumer-side changes there may no longer be strictly required after the SwiftUI dismissal behavior is applied correctly.
  • Include validation expectations in XQ1.
  • Use a global feature-flag rollout model rather than entry-point-based enablement.
  • Include consumer communication expectations.
  • Include a 30-day production period with no reported bugs before final removal.
  • Include a follow-up release to remove the feature flag and old code after rollout confidence is achieved.

Notes

  • The feature-flag and rollout planning guidance applies to the broader UIKit-removal spike, not only to dismissal-sequencing work.
  • Jeff suggested sending the process-oriented rollout document to Quy for feedback when ready.
  • The draft shared with Jeff already reflects the global feature flag, broad XQ1 validation, and consumer-facing rollout flow guidance.
  • Additional review feedback from April 13: rename the proposed flag to xflow-swiftui-enabled, make consumer contact and XQ1 validation explicit in the first phase, remove overly technical rollout wording, and avoid implying there are no consumer-side changes without qualification.
  • On April 14, Jeff asked whether the FTTransfer part of the rollout document also needed updating; David confirmed the document had already been revised to clarify that root-cause section.
  • Await final follow-up after incorporating the latest review feedback.

  • Related consumer rollout thinking should stay aligned with PDIAP-15836.
  • PDIAP-15838 should not be framed as part of this UIKit-removal spike.
