App deployment in CI/CD is now available for all apps

App deployment in CI/CD is now available for all apps through app automation tokens on the Dev Dashboard. These tokens offer app-scoped authentication, allowing you to use the latest Shopify CLI to automate app releases in GitHub Workflows and similar tools. App-scoped authentication ensures that each token is specific to an individual app, enhancing security and control.

To deploy your app using an app automation token, set the token as an environment variable and execute the deployment command:

export SHOPIFY_APP_AUTOMATION_TOKEN="your-app-automation-token"
shopify app deploy --config production --allow-updates

App automation tokens replace the CLI tokens previously generated on the Partner Dashboard. While existing CLI tokens will remain functional until they expire, transitioning to app automation tokens is recommended for enhanced security and functionality.
