Shopify Sidekick apps silently request all 160+ permissions
The pain
When we create an app using Shopify Sidekick, even if we specify only a few permissions, the finished app ends up with every single permission available — over 160 of them. This is a massive security risk that no one is talking about, and it means any app built this way could access far more of our store data than we intended.
