Native Mobile Apps
summary
Shopify announces a Mobile Buy SDK 3.0 for iOS and Android that uses the new GraphQL storefront API to return a single-request GraphQL payload (search by tags, titles and attributes), is open source, and ships with a starter sample app; SDKs reduce latency and simplify complex queries. A no-code Mobile Store Builder creates native iOS and Android apps (push, Apple/Android Pay, Shopify data sync) and enters private beta next month. Mobile visits rise from 61% to ~70%, mobile conversions hover ~1–1.5% vs desktop ~4%, and one merchant doubles ARPS on the native app.
