Metafield values limited to 16KB

Does the grandfathering also apply to the UI extensions limit change by any chance?

I haven’t yet migrated to the preact ui-extension versions but I suspect the limit of my app’s bundle will still far exceed the 64kb limit under this new change (it’s currently sitting at ~500kb).

I think migration by splitting 1 big extension in many smaller ones would create a lot of disruption for existing merchants as the change required within each checkout profile would have to be manually done, and each extension would also have fewer features available, adding to the complexity of the migration.

Echoing concerns from others in this thread:

…Also this has not been announces (or not in the changelog or that I have seen yet). But I saw UI extensions files size are also being reduced from 2mb to 64kb. This is also another enormous change which should be discussed as well. If its an issue for metafields, its an even bigger issue for UI Extensions. That size is way too small. —Jurgen Feuchter

…P.S. - The UI extension limit from 2mb to 64kb is also going to cause a lot of issues for many of us. —Alex_Hooper
