In the Shopify settings pages, “Add app block” seems to be unexpectedly disabled.
We can resolve this by clicking on the “Apps” icon (the 3rd one down on the sidebar on the right).
From there we can add the app.
The store we’re using is a development store. I wonder if this affects it?
It’d be great to re-enable this button.
Thanks,

The “Add app block” will enable when you install an app that supports app blocks. We confirmed this by installing an app that displays a banner in the checkout.
Before install app:
After installing app:
For more details, refer to Shopify’s documentation on adding banners in the checkout using app blocks:
Thanks for the comment @AMaL , but that’s incorrect. I’m reporting a bug in Shopify. The app is installed.
Here’s a video demonstrating the problem.
As you can see, the “Add app block” only becomes available after the app is added as an app block.
This, in my mind at least, is a bug - it requires you to add an app block to unlock the add app block button, defeating the purpose of the button.
