Link in our app dashboard for merchants to uninstall our app

Hello,

Regarding the app uninstallation, we’d like to provide a way for our users to uninstalled our Shopify app directly on our app dashboard (basically an "Uninstall" button)

What are our options:
- Can we uninstall Shopify programmatically (i.e. directly on our dashboard through a API call for example)
- Can we redirect the user to an “uninstall app” page in Shopify dashboard? (i.e. via a link) -> our preferred option as it would be much simplier to implement

Thank you in advance for your help

Best

Hi ... Did you ever get an answer to your quandary?  I am building the uninstall feature for my (new) app.

 

A merchant taps my button to say "uninstall this app" ...

 

First, I will do some metafield (etc) cleanup to his store, then want to do the actual uninstall.  I see some references to how to do this using the rest API, such as https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/authentication-authorization/app-installation/uninstall-app-api-... but that API is going away soon, so would not be a brilliant choice ... right?

 

How can I do the actual uninstall by another API?

 

Thanks!  jb
