Main issue: Running shopify extension push on a theme app extension now fails with the error “Unknown surface area: point_of_sale.” This previously worked last month, suggesting a recent change.
Context: In Shopify extensions, a “surface area” indicates where an extension is deployed (e.g., online_store, checkout, point_of_sale). The CLI no longer recognizes point_of_sale in this case.
Recent update: No fix or workaround provided in-thread. The error string is central to the problem.
Action suggested: Submit an issue to the official public GitHub repository for Shopify CLI (https://github.com/shopify/cli/issues) for investigation.
Status: Unresolved/ongoing. No confirmed cause, solution, or timeline shared in the discussion.
Hi,
I am trying to update my theme-app-extension, but when I run shopify extension push, I get this error: Unknown surface area: point_of_sale. It was working as late as last month so something has happened since. Does anyone have any solution?
Thank you.
