Aug 1, 2025Month: 2025-08. This period focused on aligning Shopify/cli's organization data retrieval with updated API specifications and GraphQL schemas. Delivered two targeted changes: improved data retrieval using the new organizationsWithAccessToDestination field with APPS_CLI destination in ListOrganizations, and switched the GraphQL schema source from business-platform to shop/world to fetch correct organization-related definitions for app and store packages. These changes increase data accuracy, reduce downstream data gaps, and improve developer experience when listing and working with organizations.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Delivered a unified App Versioning API for Shopify/cli by consolidating CreateApp and CreateAppVersion mutations into a single AppVersionInput, replacing separate appSource/name fields and introducing initialVersion/version input types to streamline app creation and versioning.
