# Public apps must use new GraphQL Product APIs to be accepted in the Shopify App Store

DateJanuary 1, 2025

FlagsUpdate[Action required](https://shopify.dev/changelog?action_required=true)

SurfacesApp store

Affected APIs[Admin GraphQL API](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=admin-graphql)[Admin REST API](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=admin-rest)

Starting January 6, 2025, all new apps submitted to the Shopify App Store must use the [new GraphQL Product APIs](https://shopify.dev/changelog/new-graphql-product-apis-that-support-up-to-2000-variants-now-available-in-2024-04). After this date, apps that query [deprecated REST API product resources](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/graphql/migrate/new-product-model/api-updates#deprecated-rest-endpoints) won’t be approved.

As of February 1, 2025, all public apps must migrate to the [new GraphQL Product APIs](https://shopify.dev/changelog/new-graphql-product-apis-that-support-up-to-2000-variants-now-available-in-2024-04). This includes apps already listed in the Shopify App Store.

Public apps are always required to use currently supported APIs. To learn more about the specific changes to Shopify’s product APIs, and how to update your app, check out our [migration guide](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/graphql/migrate/new-product-model).
