How to update the webhook version of a developed app?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A developer received a deprecation warning for their Shopify app and needs to update its webhook API version. They have already:

  • Modified their code to use version 2023-01
  • However, the webhook version in Shopify still shows as 2024-04

The core question is whether they need to uninstall and reinstall the app to properly update the webhook version, or if there’s another method to apply the changes. The developer included screenshots showing the deprecation notice and the current webhook version mismatch in their Shopify admin.

Hi,

How should we update the webhook version of a developed app?

We have received a warning indicating one of our developed app needs to be updated because of APIs being deprecated.

We have made changes to our code and started using version 2023-01.

However, the webhook version is still 2021-04 in Shopify.

Do we need to uninstall and re-install the app to update correctly the webhook version?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best,

Thibaut
