I’m building an embedded Shopify app and so far everything went well while developing locally. After deploying to a server, it’s working as well. However I have to change the “App URL” field in the settings before I can switch from my app working in Prod to Dev. Now that the app doesn’t have any users, it’s not a big deal but once the app will have users, I will not be able to change from PROD to Dev or it’ll break the prod.
I would actually seperate the dev and prod environments - you create a separate test instance of the app in your partner dashboard and point it to a dev App URL. That would allow you to work on a standalone Dev instance, and make changes, test them out etc, safe in the knowledge you will not break your production instance.
You could create a Development store(documentation) if you wish to just test the dev app out in a Development store environment too. Hope that helps!
That’s what I was thinking of doing. I already use a dev store but it doesn’t help as it redirect to the current APP URL in the embedded app.
So I won’t have any other choice than building a second app for dev purposes.
