there's a bug affecting apps using storefront api tokens due to which you'll see an api deprecation notice in dev dashboard. and starting today, you're also likely seeing "This app is unsupported" when merchants install.
turns out it's a bug on Shopify's end and the earliest it will "auto-resolve" is Oct 16.
which is wild? for a period of time when merchants are actively searching for apps. 2 weeks where they'll continue to see a banner.
partner/dev support was extremely unhelpful. i spoke to 2 people who each gave me ai copy-pasta answers and then refused to do anything else.
i feel like this is a much bigger issue than the way it's being talked about. it needs some attention asap cc @ShopifyDevs @eytanseidman @Shopify

Shopify now has a big old page on theme performance. I’ll find the energy to spend the night reviewing a custom build I have and looking at the implementation of some items here if I haven’t already done them. There are some things that still need some manipulation or extra help to really pull off.

Hey all - we introduced Built for Shopify to help developers build high quality merchant experiences and reward them for doing so.
It's been a major success: nearly 800 apps meet all the requirements, raising the bar for app design and performance across the entire Shopify App Store. These apps also consistently get more installs than apps that aren't Built for Shopify.
That said, we've heard the feedback from the community and know the review process has been toilsome. We are going to fix some broken things 🧵
I'm VERY frustrated with BFS'25 review at this point. I keep getting new emails with requested changes, and every one is worse than previous.
1. I'm asked to do very specific design changes in the app. And once I've done them - reviewer still say the UI is not correct.
2. Reviewer blames be for App Bridge static modal content not being loaded. Well, sometimes it happens in App Bridge and I have nothing to do with it. 🤷♂️
3. Reviewer asks me to add absolutely useless stats to app's home page. Like start tracking most popular swatches or how many times people are clicking on swatches. 🤯
4. Reviewer keeps sending me broken links to screenshots, so it's unclear what exactly I should change in some cases.
And the worst thing - I can't answer to reviewer and explain why certain changes makes no sense. All BFS requests are being send from noreply email address.

We keep meaning to ship a standard “requestAppRatingDialog” type api. I’ll check with the team on the current thinking there.

We created Built for Shopify to reward apps that are the cream of the crop of the App Store. That’s by design - the bar is high because the long-term impact on installs and discovery is worth it for developers.
We do not want this to feel like a bureaucracy. That's the opposite of this design. The Shopify ecosystem has always been and will always be about partnership. This is our first time doing re-review audits and it's clear we can make some improvements. We hear you. Thanks for the feedback - we'll come back with ways to make this process better and less stressful.

Was held hostage yesterday by a guy threatening to give me a 1 star review.
Came home from my Valentine’s Day drinks to get his issue solved. My wife is a saint.
Today he made more threats and it seems is going to give me a 1 star review shortly.
I understand why the US doesn’t negotiate with terrorist.
