Apps integrate with Shopify through APIs to add features, automate workflows, or connect external services. Provides metadata about the app including its developer information and listing details in the Shopify App Store. Use the [`installation`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/App#field-App.fields.installation) field to determine if the app is currently installed on the shop and access installation-specific details like granted [`AccessScope`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/AccessScope) objects. Check [`failedRequirements`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/App#field-App.fields.failedRequirements) before installation to identify any prerequisites that must be met. * [App​Catalog.channels](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/objects/AppCatalog#field-AppCatalog.fields.channels) OBJECT A catalog that defines the publication associated with an app. * [Publication.channels](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/objects/Publication#field-Publication.fields.channels) OBJECT A group of [products](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Product) and [collections](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Collection) that are published to an app. Each publication manages which products and collections display on its associated [`Channel`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Channel). Merchants can automatically publish products when they're created if [`autoPublish`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Publication#field-Publication.fields.autoPublish) is enabled, or manually control publication through publication records. Publications support scheduled publishing through future publish dates for online store channels, allowing merchants to coordinate product launches and promotional campaigns. The [`catalog`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Publication#field-Publication.fields.catalog) field links to pricing and availability rules specific to that publication's context. ### Deprecated fields with this connection * [Collection.unpublishedChannels](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/objects/Collection#field-Collection.fields.unpublishedChannels) OBJECT Deprecated * [Product.unpublishedChannels](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/objects/Product#field-Product.fields.unpublishedChannels) OBJECT Deprecated * [Publishable.unpublishedChannels](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/interfaces/Publishable#fields-unpublishedChannels) INTERFACE Deprecated * [Shop.channels](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/objects/Shop#field-Shop.fields.channels) OBJECT Deprecated *** ## Queries with this connection * [all​Channels](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/queries/allChannels) query List of all the active sales channels on this shop. * first [Int](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/scalars/Int) ### Arguments The first `n` elements from the [paginated list](https://shopify.dev/api/usage/pagination-graphql). * after [String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/scalars/String) The elements that come after the specified [cursor](https://shopify.dev/api/usage/pagination-graphql). * last [Int](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/scalars/Int) The last `n` elements from the [paginated list](https://shopify.dev/api/usage/pagination-graphql). * before [String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/scalars/String) The elements that come before the specified [cursor](https://shopify.dev/api/usage/pagination-graphql). * reverse [Boolean](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/scalars/Boolean) Default:false Reverse the order of the underlying list. *** * [channels](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/queries/channels) query Returns active [channels](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Channel) where merchants sell products and collections.
