issue resolved. Need to create at local first, then the redirection will work.
Topic summary
Login prompt during Shopify app setup fails to respond to keypress when running “npm run dev” in the CLI (command-line interface), leading to “Auto-open timed out” and a manual login URL.
Workaround/resolution reported: initialize/create the app locally first, after which the browser redirect/login works. (“Local” refers to setting up the app project on the local machine before attempting the CLI login.)
Another participant initially questioned the “local” step, then suggested it appears to be a bug in the new Shopify CLI version.
Status: resolved for the original poster via the local app creation workaround; no confirmed official fix noted. The issue may persist for others until a CLI update.
Key terms: npm run dev (Node package manager command to start development), CLI (command-line interface), Shopify Partners login required to proceed.
Attachments: one screenshot was shared but not essential to the resolution.
