Description

Issue summary

New to Shopify App Development. I was trying SHOPIFY APP CLI with Node. It's Polaris version is 10.49.1. I wanted to upgrade it to the latest (12.1.1) but couldn't. I need to upgrade react as well. Upgrading React to the latest causes new set of problems

  • @shopify/shopify-app-express version: "^2.1.3"
  • Node version: "v20.8.0"
  • Operating system: "macos"

Expected behavior

Updated to the latest polaris version and also the latest react version

Actual behaviour

If we update it breaks everything

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reproducing the dependency upgrade in the Shopify app template with Node v20.8.0, Polaris 12.1.1, and the latest React, then record which parts break. Done means the template runs with the requested Polaris and React versions without the reported breakage.
