Hello,
I noticed that shopify app dev redirects traffic for all dev stores to the app running locally for development, not only the store specified in configuration by
dev_store_url = "xyz.myshopify.com"
We can see in Shopify partners it also changes the current app url to the local one.
Does this also applies to stores in productions?
If so, is the solution to create another app that is development only not to impact prod?
Thanks !
Totally agree. Our organization is doing this.
It seems the message to which you replied has been deleted.
Can you please explain what your organization is doing?
My organization creates another Partner for Development environment. Each dev has their own dev app.
when using shopify app dev, it updates the app URL globally — not just for the store in dev_store_url. That means all stores using the app (including production) will point to your local dev server.
To avoid breaking production, it’s best to create a separate development app in your Partner Dashboard and use that for local testing. Keep your live app’s URL stable and untouched.
Hope this helps!
