AI agents: All commands require the
shadowenv exec --prefix to run inside the shadowenv-managed environment.shadowenv exec --dir <repo_root> -- /opt/dev/bin/dev up shadowenv exec --dir <repo_root> -- /opt/dev/bin/dev test [ARGS]
Run dev commands from the repo root or any platform directory. Use dev up
before running commands when the environment may not be provisioned.
For platform-scoped work, prefer the root dev.yml commands:
- Android:
dev android <command> - Swift:
dev swift <command> - React Native:
dev react-native <command>ordev rn <command> - Web:
dev web <command>
Use dev up for setup and setup recovery.
For protocol schema/model work, use dev protocol <command>.
For cross-platform changes, use the repo-wide aggregates: dev lint,
dev test, dev check, dev format, and dev build. Use
dev <platform> format for formatting; fix remains an alias for existing
workflows.
Prefer the dev swift ... commands for Swift package and sample builds. When
running xcodebuild directly for Swift package, Swift sample, or React Native
iOS sample work, always include -disableAutomaticPackageResolution so Xcode
uses the committed Package.resolved files instead of silently updating package
pins. This prevents sample app dependencies such as Apollo iOS from being
written into the repo-root Swift package lockfile.
Until the new native SDK libraries have stable released versions, assume React Native validation needs the local native SDK workflow. Use --local whenever running the React Native sample or native React Native tests that depend on the in-repo Swift/Kotlin SDKs.
Use the React Native --local workflow when you need to test React Native against native SDK changes that exist in this repository but have not been released as a SemVer/CocoaPods/Maven version yet.
This applies when changes are made under:
platforms/swift/— the iOS Swift SDK / CocoaPods sourcesplatforms/android/— the Android SDK / Maven artifact sourcesprotocol/languages/kotlin/— Kotlin protocol artifacts consumed by the Android SDK
It does not refer to the React Native wrapper platform folders:
platforms/react-native/modules/@shopify/checkout-kit-react-native/ios/platforms/react-native/modules/@shopify/checkout-kit-react-native/android/
- For React Native iOS,
--localwires CocoaPods to the in-repoplatforms/swift/sources via a local path instead of a released pod version. - For React Native Android,
--localpublishes/uses the in-repo Android SDK and Kotlin protocol artifacts through Maven Local so Gradle resolves the localcom.shopify:checkout-kitandcom.shopify:embedded-checkout-protocolartifacts instead of released Maven versions.
Use --local whenever you are validating React Native behavior that depends on unreleased native SDK changes, for example:
- a new Swift SDK API that the React Native iOS bridge calls
- a new Android SDK API that the React Native Android bridge calls
- generated protocol/model changes under
protocol/languages/kotlin/that the React Native module consumes through Android - any change in
platforms/swift/,platforms/android/, orprotocol/languages/kotlin/that has not yet been released and consumed through normal dependency versions
Re-run the relevant local workflow whenever platforms/swift/, platforms/android/, or protocol/languages/kotlin/ changes, because the React Native sample/tests need to re-resolve those local native SDK sources/artifacts.
# iOS sample using local platforms/swift sources
dev rn ios --local
# Android sample using local Android and Kotlin protocol artifacts via Maven Local
dev rn android --local
# React Native Android unit tests using local Android and Kotlin protocol artifacts via Maven Local
# `dev rn test android` publishes the Android SDK artifacts to ~/.m2 first, then runs the RN module tests.
dev rn test androidFor ad-hoc Android Gradle test commands, publish the local Android SDK first and set USE_LOCAL_SDK=1 so the React Native sample resolves the local com.shopify:checkout-kit and com.shopify:embedded-checkout-protocol artifacts from Maven Local:
cd platforms/react-native
USE_LOCAL_SDK=1 ./scripts/publish_android_snapshot
cd sample/android
USE_LOCAL_SDK=1 ./gradlew :shopify_checkout-kit-react-native:testDebugUnitTestThe React Native Android sample uses exclusive Maven Local resolution for those two com.shopify modules when USE_LOCAL_SDK=1. Keep that filtering in the sample Gradle build; duplicating exclusive repository filters for the same modules elsewhere can break dependency resolution.
Treat storefront environment and generated sample app configuration values as
sensitive. Never print, commit, paste, or document real values from .env,
generated platform config, access tokens, merchant identifiers, shop IDs,
account IDs. Use synthetic placeholders for docs and
verification.
