Shopify App (Ruby version) Question on API Version

GraphQL Admin API Troubleshooting
1

I am used to versioning my GraphQL by setting what they call the Context of a session. That being said, it is very easy to make an API call to the GraphQL with just the store name and the access token.

    session = ShopifyAPI::Auth::Session.new(
      shop: shop_name,
      access_token: access_token
    )

This session returns data from the store on a query. What is the API version used when you do not provide one? Is it just automatic that Shopify uses the latest stable API version and thus we can rest assured the calls we make use that when we do not provide one?

I see from the API library code that it probably comes to life with the latest stable version. Just looking for a confirmation of that.
@api_version = T.let(LATEST_SUPPORTED_ADMIN_VERSION, String)

Yes, if you do not explicitly provide a version, the Shopify API library defaults to using whatever it calls its latest stable version under the hood.

In the ShopifyAPI Ruby library specifically, that default is set by LATEST_SUPPORTED_ADMIN_VERSION, which changes over time to match Shopify’s most recent stable release :spiral_calendar:
