App Installation Fails After Updating the URL

I was ready to submit my app for the review process. There, I learned that the domain must not contain the keyword “shopify”. We still wanted to include it, so we switched to “XYZ.com/shopify-test”.

This means that some configurations needed updating. I am referring to the following locations - see the list. We are using the Shopify app template with remix and TS.

  • App settings > App setup
    • App URL
    • Allowed redirection URL(s)
  • Code
    • publicPath in remix.config.js
    • authPathPrefix in shopfify.server.ts

Nevertheless, the installation fails with the following error message: “The application cannot be loaded, it may be misconfigured. Please contact the application author.”. The URL contains the parameter “oauth_error=application_cant_be_loaded_misconfigured”.

Am I missing something?

What are the general requirements when updating the URL to a new one using a subdirectory?

Many thanks

I was informed by another Shopify dev that this just brings additional problems. We reverted to using a URL without subdirectory. I’d recommend the same.
