Thanks for opening this issue. A GitHub docs team member should be by to give feedback soon. In the meantime, please check out the contributing guidelines. |
IIUC, no, this isn't possible. The new app is essentially a distinct installation, so it's access must be authenticated by the user.
I think this was originally written implying that some users might still be using the old app. If all your users have transitioned off the old app, or if you're happy to delete the old app even though it might still have active users, then deleting the app makes sense We can definitely update the doc to be more clear about both these points. I'll open this issue up for anyone to take on |
