unable to call mobile_platform_applications api

[nsmith0333]

I am unable to successfully call API admin/api/2020-10/mobile_platform_applications.json. When I call this API, we get the following error but does not give me any insight into what the issue is. How do I determine what the issue is?

Status: 404Not Found

{

    "errors": "Not Found"

}

Please send me an DM with your API key and app name - I will look into this for you.

Hi Vix,

Thanks for your response, we are now getting this error. 

{

    "errors": "[API] This action requires merchant approval for read_mobile_platform_applications scope."

}

Hi Vix,

I happen to have the exact same problem when I'm trying to add an iOS universal link to my store. I tried to create a private app with read_mobile_platform_application and/or write_mobile_platform_applications but I couldn't find them in the list of authorisations. So I tried to call the api with read_themes + write_themes, but I get a 404 as a response.

I'm a bit confused on how the Mobile Platform Application admin api works: https://shopify.dev/api/admin-rest/2021-10/resources/mobileplatformapplication

Thanks you for your help!

In case anyone needs to just set up the values behind `apple-app-site-association` you can use the steps at https://shopify.dev/custom-storefronts/tools/ios#steps which is also very similar for Android
