Theme extension deployment not working: Active version not reflected on the store

Extensions

Hi everyone,

I am trying to deploy a new version of a theme extension using `npx shopify app deploy`, however the released / active version isn’t reflected in the store. The store shows yesterday’s released version.

Yesterday the deployment was working fine.

The app is not yet publicly available, and I’m installing it on a dev store. Also I’m using the latest Shopify cli `3.88.1`.

Is anyone experiencing the same issue and what’s the solution?

Thanks.

@Dmitri_Pavlutin , If you app is not published yet you may need to verify below points

  • extension is enabled on the dev store
  • .toml file should be not change
  • make sure that UID is not changed if it changed you may need to connect with corrent UID
  • Try to reset the deploy process using —reset

Thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately it still does not work: i’ve checked the UIDs, used reset, even installed on another dev store - still yesterday’s version is displayed.

It can be some Shopify liquid cache issue. There’s a related issue where metafields are being cached in liquid.

In my case the problem was that I ran the app in dev mode, so Shopify published the theme extension dev preview. To make the store pick the actual production release of the theme extension, you have to reinstall the app on the dev store.
