App Development covers building apps that extend Shopify’s admin or storefront — embedded admin apps, App Bridge, admin UI extensions, and the Polaris design system they’re typically built with. This is the platform’s extension model, distinct from a custom storefront (Hydrogen) or a theme (Liquid & Themes).
