Hi there,

I’ve just tried the new Dev Dashboard and it looks fantastic—great job on the improvements!

However, I ran into a couple of issues:

I have created a new app on the new Dev Dashboard and:

  1. The latest version of the Shopify CLI doesn’t seem to recognise the app I created through the new Dev Dashboard. When I run both dev and deploy commands, I get the following error:
No app with client ID `XXXXXXXXXXXX` found
  1. I created a public distribution but I’m also unable to access or use any of the billing functionalities. I receive:
Validation failed: It appears that this application is currently owned by a Shop.           It must be migrated to the Shopify partners area before it can create charges with the API.

I checked the documentation but couldn’t find any details related to billing setup for apps created through the new dashboard.

Am I missing a step or is there something specific that needs to be configured?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Thanks for sharing this. When you ran app init did you select the dev dashboard organization? If not, that could be why it’s not found.

For the second point, during early access, dev dashboard created apps can’t be sold in the app store, so you will still need to use the partner dashboard for public app distribution. When you clicked the distribution option in the dev dashboard, it should have taken you to the partner dashboard with that alert.

Thank you for the quick response, @KyleG-Shopify.

I realised that I had selected the wrong organisation in the Dev Dashboard, it’s working now.

The reason I created the app was twofold: to try out the new Dev Dashboard and also to debug one of my existing apps. For the debugging part, I needed to use the Billing API. I switched over to the Partner Dashboard and configured the app for public distribution, so I expected that would enable billing functionality, but it still didn’t work.

Is this the expected behaviour when using apps created via the new Dev Dashboard?

Thanks again for your support!

The default for new apps right now is to use managed billing, which can’t currently be changed for dev dashboard created apps; so you’ll need to recreate the app in your partner dashboard to test the billing.
