# app build

This command executes the build script specified in the element's TOML file. You can specify a custom script in the file. To learn about configuration files in Shopify apps, refer to [App configuration](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/tools/cli/configuration).

  If you're building a [theme app extension](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/online-store/theme-app-extensions), then running the `build` command runs [Theme Check](https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/tools/theme-check) against your extension to ensure that it's valid.

```bash
shopify app build [flags]
```
