Can't set app listing to unlisted

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to unlist my app but can’t find the “Manage app visibility” dialog that’s described here:

The only thing I can do is change the app visiblity from fully visible to limited visibility.

Do I have to contact support to do this?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Perice

I believe selecting “limited visibility” will unlist your app from the app store, which may have been a recent change that hasn’t been reflected on the docs yet. I’ve connected with the app store team to confirm this and have the docs updated.

Thanks Liam,

The app doesn’t appear on the developer page or in the search results.

The app listing, however, is still accessible by its URL and you can still install the app.

I’d like to prevent new installations if that’s possible?

Thanks,
Peter

As far as I’m aware, limited visibility apps still can be accessed with the app URL and installed.
The difference between ‘full visibility’ and ‘limited visibility’ is that

  • fully visibility apps are shown in the app store.
  • limited visibility apps are not shown in the app store.

Retailers can access both apps via direct URL and proceed with app install.

@perice - if the app is unlisted, only merchants that you give the url to will be able to install the app. You’ll be notified if a merchant installs your unlisted app, and if you want to cancel an installation when that happens you could use the appSubscriptionCancel mutation.

If you want to sunset your app, these are the steps - but that would remove the app for all current users.
