SHOPIFY CLI CUTS LEGACY EXTENSION TOOLING, HYDROGEN ADDS DEPLOY SAFETY
By RepoJournal · Filed · 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.
