Accessing Password-Protected Development Stores for Admin Panel Scanning in Shopify App

[aha-xtnd]

Hello Shopify Community,

I’m currently developing a Shopify application that uses an app extension to display content on the storefront. In the admin panel of my app, I need to implement functionality that scans storefront pages to optimize performance and improve the user experience.

However, I’m facing a challenge: by default, development stores are password-protected, which prevents my app from accessing and scanning the storefront pages as needed.

I came across Shopify’s documentation on retrieving testing URLs, but I’m uncertain how to apply this in the context of my embedded app. Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on how to access and interact with password-protected development stores for the necessary admin panel functions.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue and can offer advice or best practices?

Any suggestions or resources would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi there had a similar question, is there anyway as an app to access the store even when its password protected?
