Shop Minis development stopped working today - server error and AsyncStorage issues

Shop Minis
1

Our Mini was working fine until yesterday late evening (Dec 1, 2025). Today we’re experiencing two issues:

  1. “There’s an issue on our end. We’re looking into the problem. Please try again later” - This red error banner appears at the bottom of the screen in the emulator.

  2. AsyncStorage not persisting - Data saved via useAsyncStorage is not being retained. After creating a new item and navigating back to the home screen, the app shows the welcome screen as if no data exists.

To confirm this wasn’t our code, I installed a fresh scaffold Mini ( npm init @shopify/shop-mini@latest ) and it shows the same “There’s an issue on our end” error.

Environment:

  • @shopify/shop-minis-cli: 0.0.216

  • @shopify/shop-minis-react: 0.4.7

  • Platform: Windows 11

  • Network: DNS resolving correctly (verified via nslookup)

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a known outage?

Hi @vcmohanonline ,

For the first issue, make sure your emulator is connected to network (android emulators tend to lose network access at times), and you are logged into Shop app.

As for the async storage problem, are you able to share further steps to reproduce? Do you encounter this issue with a new Mini as well?

This was an issue my ISP’s DNS resolver. It got fixed after I changed to Google DNS.
Thanks
