  • Cookie settings have been verified and multiple browsers tested

Proposed Solution:

Hello,

I have a problem. Recently I’ve updated my app to have access to more scopes. But the problem is that now when new store tries to install that app - it gets into redirection loop until it spits out an attached error.

If I revert scopes back - it works. Stores which had that app installed prior to scope update - works with updated scopes as well, so it’s only install that is broken.

Cookie setting are all in check, I’ve tried multiple browsers - same issue.

Ofc when deploying scopes, I did: “shopify app config link” then “shopify app deploy” and code that gets deployed also has updated .toml

Any suggestions what else can I try? Thanks!

Make sure you have this in your shopify.app.toml:


[build]
include_config_on_deploy = true
