We are currently developing our app using the managed installation method with a shopify.app.toml
file, but now we want to switch back to manual installation.
The reason is that with manual installation, after the installation is complete, the installation link redirects to the redirect_url
with data, allowing us to handle that data through our callback function. However, after switching to managed installation, although the app is installed correctly in the store, no data is sent to the redirect_url
.
If managed installation also sent data to the redirect_url
after installation, we wouldn’t need to switch back. But since that’s not the case, we want to revert to manual installation — we just don’t know how.
We saw in the documentation that setting use_legacy_install_flow = true
in the TOML file should do this, but the installation link still redirects automatically without hitting our redirect URL.
How can we completely return to manual installation?
