Deployed App Crashes in Google AI Studio Due to React Version Conflicts – Request for Developer Support

Hello Google Support Team,

I have now encountered the following issue twice, and in both cases several weeks of work were lost as a result.

I am building applications in Google AI Studio using Gemini 3. During development everything works as expected. I am able to reach a stable state, successfully deploy the app, and use the deployed version without any issues.

However, after a few days — without making any further changes to the code — the deployed application suddenly crashes and shows a blank screen. When I try to fix the issue in Google AI Studio, the system is unable to recover the app: the preview remains a blank screen, and Gemini cannot successfully repair it.

In both cases, after extensive debugging attempts, Gemini concluded that the root cause was a version conflict:

“I ran diagnostics and identified the source of the issue: a version conflict in the index.html file. The application was attempting to load both React 18 and the experimental React 19 at the same time, which caused an immediate crash (‘White Screen of Death’).

Additionally, the application was loading React 19 (RC) and a very new version of Lucide Icons from a CDN that was not correctly serving sub-paths (such as react-dom/client), causing the application to fail before it could mount.”

Gemini then attempted to fix these issues automatically, but the problem was never resolved — the app remained broken and unusable.

At this point, two separate applications have been lost in this way. This is a serious issue for me, as these apps were intended to be presented at work, and there were strong expectations around these demos.

I believe Google AI Studio is a very promising and powerful service in many respects, but in its current form it feels unreliable for building stable, presentation-ready applications, especially when apps can break without any user-initiated changes.

I would like to request assistance from a Google developer or support engineer to help restore or stabilize my application and to better understand why these breaking changes are occurring after deployment.

Please contact me so we can resolve this issue.

Thank you for your time and support.
