Hi @Parikshat_Singh

I don’t believe that error is connected with the org being registered. Have you contacted direct Shopify support on this yet? I feel this will require our team to dig into the logs for their account, which we can’t do here on the public forums.

Since you’ve already contacted support, one local thing worth checking is whether this app project is still linked to a disabled organization.

If your email has access to multiple organizations, the local app config may still be tied to the blocked org. From the app root, try resetting the linked config and choose the unblocked organization when prompted:

shopify app config link --reset

Then run shopify app dev --store tracely-test-bylkxlnr.myshopify.com again. If it still returns ORGANIZATION_DISABLED after relinking, the remaining issue is likely account/org-specific and support would need to re-check that.
