SHOPIFY CLI CUTS LEGACY EXTENSION TOOLING, HYDROGEN ADDS DEPLOY SAFETY
By RepoJournal ยท Filed ยท About Shopify
Shopify CLI is systematically removing deprecated extension surfaces and 1P dev mode, while Hydrogen gains a force flag to skip confirmation prompts on non-preview deploys.
The CLI team shipped a series of removals today that consolidate the extension development experience [1][2][3]. Dashboard managed extensions, the bundled UI extensions dev console, and unused extension creation surfaces are gone. This cleanup culminates a broader effort to deprecate 1P dev mode entirely [4][5], which means shops building extensions need to migrate workflows now if they haven't already. On the Hydrogen side, developers can now pass --force to skip confirmation prompts during non-preview deploys [6][7], addressing a friction point where automated deployment pipelines were getting blocked by interactive prompts. This is a quality-of-life fix for CI/CD environments but requires intentional opt-in to avoid accidental deployments.
