Hi there,

My public app got review and published, but can no longer install the app on my development store.

I just want to check if this is expected behaviour. So my app has a Checkout UI extension which I know is for Shopify Plus stores only but I was able to install my app when it was draft fine on my own development store. As soon as it got published and I tried to install the same app on my development store I get the following message.

This app is not compatible with your store> {AppName} is only compatible with stores that:> Are subscribed to the Shopify Plus plan

Expected? Is my best option then to create a another version of my app as a “draft” again so I can continue dev’ing new features and test on a development store.

Thanks!
