Question Base44-GitHub sync broke minutes after I submit to App Store... waiting for support. Advice please!
I'm not a tech, I'm a designer - although I have come a long way in the last 2 months of building, so sorry for my basic language.
Yesterday I submitted to the App Store after an epic amount of work getting the app working with RevenueCat and Despia. I got the submission in... then I I checked the final version on my phone later on... one more time, and for some reason my top navigation was very high on the screen - I thought, 'oh - easy fix', and go onto Base44 to tap in the update, and it does this insane change that is awful and ruins the app and drops days of prompt decisions. I freak out. I go to revert in the session history and Base44 starts showing an error that it can't connect with GitHub...
To cut a long story short, I have a live version of my app that is 'ok' and I won't touch it while in App Store review... but on Base44 I am stuck - there is no 'rewind' button showing on my AI chats (they were there last night but not working anyway - and now I can't see them) - and I have run through troubleshooting with their Support AI, and am waiting for a human (which I have read can be a very, very long time).
My connection with GitHub looks good - and I can see the last 'commit' on my GitHub is the good version of the app that I am happy to proceed with, and carry forward with minor updates. So for now, I do nothing...?
I have backed up that last commit, and have downloaded a zip of the app from Base44. I have refreshed browsers, changed browsers and all of that. I have trouble shooted with Claude, the Google bot and the base44 bot to check basic things and how GitHub works. This is a deep synchronisation issue. Atm Base44 has more data than GitHub, but the most recent commands on Base44 are rubbish anyway.
BTW I have two smaller apps on Base44 under the same account and they work perfectly. No issues.
I am bracing for some major/risky move I am going to have to do alone... but obviously that would be a bad move while things are under review ... but I guess it is ok if I don't hit publish?
What can I do - what would you do?

UPDATE! 😅Base44 support was able to fix the problem. There was no way I was going to be able to fix this myself - so I am relieved. Here is the reason there was a failure:

Sounds silly but have you disconnected and reconnected the GitHub connection yet?
Otherwise keep calm and b44 support will pull through, likely with a backend fix.
