This guide will teach you how to deploy the latest stable version of your app so that all accounts having your app installed can be automatically updated with the new stable version.

Also, keep in mind that after publishing your app, you must wait 7 minutes before deploying it. Otherwise, you'll receive the following error: Invalid state transition. If you are deploying a hotfix, you can use the --force flag to instantly deploy your new app version. This flag is available only for VTEX IO CLI versions higher than 2.118.0.

If you have already published and validated your app, take the steps below to deploy your app's candidate version as a stable version.

2. Deploy your new app version:
