Is there a limitation to only add one app embed block in theme app extensions

Topic summary

A developer encountered an issue where only one app embed block displays when attempting to add multiple app embed blocks within the same Shopify theme app extension.

Key Details:

  • Multiple app embed blocks were created (“App 1” and “App 2”) with the same target (“body”)

Is this a platform limitation from Shopify, or is there another underlying issue causing this behavior?

Hi,

I tried adding multiple app embed blocks in the same app and it only displays one of them. I checked the documentation for the theme app extension and did not find anything that specified that only a single app embed block is allowed per app.

// app-one.liquid
{% schema %}
{
  "name": "App 1",
  "target": "body",
  "settings": []
}
{% endschema %}

// app-two.liquid
{% schema %}
{
  "name": "App 2",
  "target": "body",
  "settings": []
}
{% endschema %}

Is this a limitation from Shopify or some other issue?

Thanks.
