During automated review, Shopify’s install flow stops at /app/grant

Hi all — I’m hitting the automated review install redirect error and looking for confirmation on the expected “final redirect” behavior for managed installs.

Error from automated check

What I’m seeing manually

My current setup

Hypothesis / question

Is the automated check failing because the configured redirect URL is being served as HTML (SPA fallback) instead of a server-side 302 to the backend callback, causing Shopify to never navigate away from /app/grant?

Also, for embedded apps, does the automated check require the post-auth redirect to land on an Admin apps URL that includes host=… (or otherwise a deterministic merchant UI URL), vs relying on any client-side navigation?

If anyone has a known-good redirect chain for passing automated review (especially for managed install), I’d really appreciate it.

Hey @Patrick_Henry, when you are using managed installs, you shouldn’t need to implement the authorization code grant.

We do have this guide here on how this can be implemented: Enable Shopify-managed installations for your app

If you do need to use the authorization code grant, make sure you have added use_legacy_install_flow = true in your app toml file.
