Cannot connect Shopify Plus Custom app with my local app project in order to deploy a Function

Cannot connect Shopify Plus Custom app with my local app project in order to deploy a Function

I see that Functions are only available for Shopify Plus stores. I'm working with a merchant on their Shopify Plus store. We have installed a Custom app. I have all the API tokens I need. However, I don't see any way of how to connect my local app project with this Custom app.

When I run `npm run dev`, I'm asked to choose a Partner account. I choose my Partner account.

Next I'm asked whether it's a new app or existing app that I want to connect the local app to. I choose existing app.

Next I'm presented with the list of existing apps in my Partner account.

 

This list doesn't include the Shopify Plus Custom app because that app is not in my Partner account because it was directly created in the Shopify Plus store. I have all the access needed, but I cannot connect the Custom app with my local app. How can I achieve this?

 

Thank you!

I spent last several hours searching for solution:

https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/functions "users on a Shopify Plus plan can create custom apps that contain Shopify Function APIs."

https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-functions/are-functions-not-working-on-custom-apps/m-p/20111... - "functions are only available in custom apps for Plus shops"

https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/app-extensions/extension-only-apps - "Extension-only apps are public or custom apps"
