not sure how to update shopify app bridge - php

Technical Q&A
1

Hi guys,

I received this message from Shopify asking me to update Shopify App Bridge.

Back then, we hired a company to do the app for us, but we can’t contact that company anymore.

Basically the app loads embedded in the shopify interface, but it runs off the php files in my server.

I took a look at the sources files that we have hosted on our own server, it seems to be using purely php. The shopify api calls are the ‘shopify_call’ in functions.php and only gets order and customer info.

What is it that I need to change or update?

Or can I generate and install a new app using the source codes in my server?

Appreciate any help.

Hi,

Hope following will help you

  • Replace old library with the latest version and update initialization code.
  • Check API calls in your PHP code are up-to-date with Shopify’s latest API standards.
  • Create a new app using your existing PHP code as a reference. (If needed)

Thanks for the reply.

I tried running Shopify CLI but there wasn’t an option to create a PHP app, only Javascript and Typescript.

Also checked out the online tutorials, but they all showcased laravel, and they were all created before 2024.

So not sure if what they are showing are the requirements of this ‘update shopify app bridge’ exercise.

Where can I get the latest initialization code?

What do I do?
