How do I change the uninstall message for an app I'm developing?

Shopify Apps
1

I can see the message in the admin graphQL API, as

{
  app {
     uninstallUrl
     uninstallMessage
  }
}​

which produces this:

{
  "data": {
    "app": {
      "uninstallUrl": null,
      "uninstallMessage": "You’ll no longer be able to use this app, and its associated discounts will be deleted."
    }
  }

But how do I do a mutation? to change it. I’d like to say to use the in-app button first!

Thanks jb

dear Dora-Felix,

What a quick reply! … I do have a problem. Dumb perhaps, but still a stopper for me. Once I navigate in the partner dashboard to the app I’m developing, I do not see “App Setup”. I have several options on the left:

These each have their own pages, but none have app setup … Shall I send you some screenshots?

Cheers and Thanks jb

Anyone have a suggestion? All I got was a scam/spam response that has evidently even been deleted now! Thx jb

Also …

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-request, 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

I am also searching for this. I’m in the process of changing my REST-API calls to GraphQL calls and uninstalling the app is missing from all documentations.

Could anybody point us in the right direction on how to uninstall an app using GraphQL?

I hope some developer cleverer than I replies to this one. All I could think of was a button-like sign telling the user to press the Shopify uninstall button hidden behind three dots in the upper right corner.

is that a dorky kludge, or what?

cheers jb
