Code modifications
If the Theme Updater shows Out of the Sandbox, Pixel Union, or Archetype themes as Unsupported, it means that there have been changes made to the top portion of the settings_schema.json file (usually through the addition of an SEO app).
When an SEO app adds its code to this file, it gets placed above our theme information code, which is used by the Theme Updater to identify a theme as one of our own as well as its version.
When this information code is moved, the Theme Updater can't search the file to identify the theme or the theme version, which results in the 'Unsupported' message.
To update, you will need to remove the additional code added to the top of the settings_schema.json file (found under Online store > Themes > Actions > Edit code > Config > settings_schema.json ) and store it somewhere safe.
Once the theme update is complete you can then add this custom code back into the theme's settings_schema.json file.
