The Shopify CLI app release `--force` flag is deprecated and will be removed
DeprecationUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
We are deprecating the --force flag on the shopify app deploy and shopify app release commands. The flag will be removed in a Shopify CLI release in May 2026. Why we're making this change The --force flag skips all confirmation prompts, including for extension deletions that can permanently remove data on installed shops.
