Retired Boards Appdev Extensions

Topic summary

A developer is encountering errors after updating their custom Shopify app to API version 2024-07. The main issue occurs when attempting to update the REST API version—the app throws a “Cannot find module” error.

Current situation:

  • shopify-app package is at version 9.7.2, which doesn’t include support for 2024-07
  • Attempted updating all packages, but shopify-app remains at 9.7.2
  • Version 10.0 introduces 3 subdirectories (cjs, esm, ts), creating confusion about which to use

Open questions:

  • How to successfully upgrade to a version supporting 2024-07?
  • Which subdirectory format to choose in version 10.0?
  • Why doesn’t the Shopify CLI automatically update to the latest package version?

The issue remains unresolved, with the developer seeking guidance on the upgrade path.

I have updated the version of my custom app to 2024-07. The only place I am still having issues is with updating the version for my rest api. If I change the version I am getting the below error when trying to run the app. If I go look at my current version for shopify-app it is 9.7.2. Looking through the code on their site I see that 2024-07 is not in this version. I have tried to update all of my packages, but it is still 9.7.2. Why doesn’t the Shopify CLI update to the latest version of this package?

Also, I did notice that from version 10.0 they now have 3 subdirectories (cjs, esm, ts). Which one do you choose if I am able to get the version upgraded?
