# About the Legacy Wix CLI for Apps

<blockquote class="warning">

**Deprecated**

The Legacy Wix CLI for Apps is deprecated and no longer receives updates or new features. You can no longer create projects with it. New app projects use the [Wix CLI for Apps](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-apps/about-the-wix-cli-for-apps).

On February 28, 2027, the Legacy Wix CLI for Apps reaches its end of life. After that date, you can't release new versions of apps built with it.

- To migrate an existing app to the new Wix CLI, see [Migrate a Legacy CLI App to the New Wix CLI](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/develop-an-app-with-the-cli/migrate-an-app-to-the-new-cli/migrate-an-app-from-the-legacy-cli/migrate-a-legacy-cli-app-to-the-new-wix-cli).

The Legacy Wix CLI for Apps is an earlier CLI for app projects. Its projects depend on the `@wix/cli-app` package and are configured in `wix.config.json`, and their commands run as `wix app <command>`.

You can't create new Legacy Wix CLI for Apps projects. The `npm create @wix/app` command that created them now only shows a deprecation notice. To create an app project, use [`npm create @wix/new app`](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-apps/command-reference/project-creation-commands/create-app).

The articles in this section remain available to support the maintenance of existing Legacy Wix CLI for Apps projects:

- [Legacy App Project Structure](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/project-structure/legacy-app-project-structure): The folders and files of a legacy app project.
- [Legacy Wix CLI for Apps Command Reference](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/command-reference/introduction): The commands you run in a legacy app project.
