Add typed JSON output to app release by isaacroldan · Pull Request #8820 · Shopify/cli

isaacroldan · 2026-10-07T12:06:44Z

WHY are these changes introduced?

Let scripts read app release outcomes. Related to #23668.

WHAT is this pull request doing?

Add --json with validated release data and shared fatal errors. Declined confirmation returns {"status":"cancelled"} and exits zero. Keep the existing text banners, including the missing-version headline and styled version tag. Reject missing release confirmation and retain API user errors.

Text: Version released to users. with a v1 link.

{"status":"success","app":{"name":"Example","clientId":"client-id"},"release":{"version":{"gid":"gid://shopify/Version/123","name":"v1","message":null,"url":"https://dev.shopify.com/dashboard/1/apps/1/versions/123"}}}

How to manually test your changes?

Use a disposable test app with an existing version.

Run shopify app release --version <version> --allow-updates --allow-deletes --json --no-input > result.json 2> events.jsonl. Check one release result and stderr progress. Repeat without --json to compare the existing banner.
Run with an unknown version, with and without --json. Expect the same missing-version message and a nonzero exit; JSON mode returns one error object. In a terminal, omit the allow flags and decline confirmation; expect one cancelled result and exit zero.
Run shopify app release --json-schema to inspect the contract.
