Update Gemfile

Since Spree 4.3 spree gem doesn’t include spree_emails, spree_backend and spree_frontend gems. It only consists of Spree Core and Spree API. You need to add them to your Gemfile if you want to use them.

Remove gems merged into Spree Core

These gems were merged into Spree Core in version 4.3. All of their functionality is now included in the spree gem so you can remove them.

(Optional) Remove SpreeMultiDomain

If you used that gem in the past you need to remove it. Multi-Store is now incorporated into Spree core and you cannot use that gem anymore.
  1. Remove spree_multi_domain from your Gemfile
  2. Remove //= require spree/frontend/spree_multi_domain from vendor/assets/javascripts/spree/frontend/all.js
  3. Remove //= require spree/backend/spree_multi_domain from vendor/assets/javascripts/spree/backend/all.js

(Optional) Remove Spree Editor

Spree 4.3 includes TinyMCE 5 editor built-in. It’s not recommended to use spree_editor gem anymore.

(Optional) Remove Spree Static Content

Spree 4.3 includes a built-in CMS. It’s not recommended to use spree_static_content
