Svelte team decided to use Svelte5 fine grained reactivity for its application state also. so they deprecated older application state APIs <code>$app/store</code> module.
in previous version you would import application state like url of current page by using like this
<pre><code class="language-sv">import {page} from &quot;$app/store&quot;

$:url = $page.url
</code></pre>
but in sveltekit 2.12, you no longer required to use <code>$</code> doller sign before page. you can just do this
<pre><code class="language-sv">import {page} from &quot;$app/state&quot;; // state module. not store

const url = $derived(page.url)
</code></pre>

SvelteKit 2.12 deprecates the $app/store module in favor of the new application state API using Svelte's fine-grained reactivity. Developers now import state from $app/state and no longer need to use the $ sign before state variables.

$app/store is deprecated in sveltekit v2.12
