Set future flags using the `future` configuration field to opt in to upcoming breaking changes. With this feature, you can prepare for major releases ahead of time, as well as try out new features before they are released.

removeRest
When enabled, methods for interacting with the admin REST API will not be returned. This affects: * `authenticate.admin(request)` * `authenticate.webhook(request)` * `authenticate.flow(request)` * `authenticate.appProxy(request)` * `authenticate.fulfillmentService(request)` * `unauthenticated.admin(shop)` In a future release we will remove REST from the package completely.

unstable_newEmbeddedAuthStrategy
When enabled, embedded apps will fetch access tokens via [token exchange](/docs/apps/auth/get-access-tokens/token-exchange). This assumes the app has scopes declared for [Shopify managing installation](/docs/apps/auth/installation#shopify-managed-installation).

          currencyCode: 'USD',
          interval: BillingInterval.Every30Days,
        }
      ],
    },
    [ANNUAL_PLAN]: {
      lineItems: [
        {
          amount: 50,
          currencyCode: 'USD',
          interval: BillingInterval.Annual,
        }
      ],

       amount: 1,
       currencyCode: "USD",
