Schema Checks Show Affected App Deployments

Schema checks now show which active app deployments would be affected by breaking changes, helping you understand the real-world impact before deploying schema updates.

How It Works

When a schema check detects breaking changes, Hive automatically identifies which active app deployments have operations that use the affected schema coordinates. For each affected deployment, you’ll see:

  • The app deployment name and version
  • Which specific operations within that deployment use the affected fields

Example

If you’re removing Query.users, and your mobile-app@2.1.0 deployment has operations that query this field, the schema check will show:

  • Breaking change: Field users was removed from object type Query
  • Affected deployment: mobile-app version 2.1.0
  • Affected operations: The specific operation names and hashes that use this field

Benefits

  • Impact assessment: Understand which client applications would break before deploying
  • Team coordination: Know which teams need to update their apps before proceeding
  • Risk mitigation: Make informed decisions about breaking changes

Only active app deployments (published and not retired) are analyzed. Pending and retired deployments are not included.
