Thanks for the quick reply! Maybe I’ll put something together out on github once I complete it.

@Christopher : How do we go about gaining access to our app inside the iframe when it is a private app? My experience leads me to believe private apps don’t show up as “installed” in the apps page, and thus have nowhere to click to load the app’s iframe content. That, along with seemingly no way to s…

@MrPunkin : You’re correct. True private applications do not use OAuth and do not get listed in the Shopify admin, however you can create an App in your partners area, never publish it to the App store and only allow it to be installed on whichever shops you please.

I believe I have answered my own question. That seems to simply be part of the OAauth handshake that happens.

@Max Popoff: You can make it look however you please. The design of the app is completely up to you. I would suggest taking some inspiration from our current admin design, but each app is very different – one design style won’t always work for everything.

Sorry, I must have been unclear. I am not referencing the Shopify stylesheets directly. Rather, I am using Chrome’s developer tools to inspect elements in the shop admin area to get the specific styles and then adding them to my own stylesheet.
