I'm working on a Shopify app with dynamic theme blocks, specifically a Quick Announcement Bar, but I've run into an issue:

Problem:

  • Some themes don't have blocks configured when the app is activated.
  • When a theme doesn't support the blocks, I'm unable to pull the block information or activate them.
  • The app embeds blocks in one theme but fails for others, especially when trying to toggle the block’s "disabled" status or display the announcement correctly.

Goal:

  • How can I ensure that if a theme doesn't have blocks, they can be added dynamically via JSON?
  • I need a way to make this consistent for all themes, regardless of whether the blocks are pre-configured or not.

Any insights on how to handle this block configuration and activation seamlessly across different themes would be really appreciated!
