I agree with Joshua. That's a very bad experience to force us to go through
to migrate. My migration is probably going to be much worse because I have
a lot of data, which means that it'll take a very long time (days?) to copy
the data across, and by that time the data would have changed on the
original app. I cannot bring the app down for extended periods of time while
I do this.

Not to mention how much of a hassle it is to change app IDs.

I posted an issue here, star it if you agree that this process should be
automated:
