Next-Gen dev platform with no support for app proxy URLs update

I see here that the new shopify app dev is not updating the URLs with the custom tunnel for the app proxy configuration. This is something that is used a lot by our team, so not having this feature is very problematic because the only way to do it is by manually generating a new version with the custom tunnel URL. Is there any plan to add that soon? I think it is a must for testing the new app development workflow.

Hi @gugaiz! Yes this is a temporary limitation. I don’t have a date but app proxy in dev will be supported by the general release of the Next-gen Dev Platform.

In the meantime you can work around it by deploying with a static tunnel URL, or you can run a deploy with the updated tunnel URL while dev is still running.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Is there any way I can get notified when that happens?

It looks like the issue is coming from your theme’s cart drawer JavaScript not loading correctly on mobile

The main problem with the lack of support for proxy app deployment is that we need to create one app per developer; otherwise, developers working on the same app will overwrite each other’s proxy URL configuration. I think this is crucial for testing new features; otherwise, in our case, we’re in the same situation as with the Partners Dashboard.
