Shopify app dev failing with GraphQL 403 “Cannot find a valid organization associated to this shop”

Hi everyone,

I’m running into an issue with the Shopify CLI that started today. I follow the usual flow from the `shopify app dev` docs, but the command now exits with a GraphQL 403.

Environment

  • macOS Sonoma (Darwin 23.0.0)

  • Node.js v23.1.0

  • Shopify CLI @shopify/cli 3.84.2

  • Remix app created from the standard Shopify template; no local code changes since the last successful run

  • Migrated over to the new Dev dashboard / extensions weeks back (no issues since migrating up until today)

Steps

  1. Log into the CLI with shopify login --shop .

  2. From the project root, run shopify app dev.

Observed result

The command aborts almost immediately with:

GraphQL Error (Code: 403): {"response":{"errors":"Cannot find a valid organization associated to this shop","status":403,"headers":{}},"request":{"query":"mutation DevSessionCreate($appId: String!, $assetsUrl: String!) { ... }","variables":{"appId":"169072558081","assetsUrl":"https://partners-extensions-scripts-bucket.storage.googleapis.com/.../source.br?..."}}

    at makeRequest (…/node_modules/@shopify/cli/dist/chunk-OCEWRJZI.js:28046:11)

    ...

What I’ve tried

  • shopify logout followed by a fresh shopify login

  • Re-ran the command from a clean shell session; same result every time

Nothing changed in my app or partner setup between the last successful run and today. The error makes it sound like my dev store is suddenly detached from any organization, but I can still see it under the correct Partner account.

Has anyone seen this 403 when creating a dev session? Does it indicate an issue on Shopify’s side, or is there something I need to re-link in my partner organization or app config? Happy to provide more details if needed. Thanks!

Update - I am now getting a slightly different 403 error when running shopify app dev, visually rendered in the CLI

Glad to see I’m not the only one struggling here. I’m having the same issue as well. My environment

  • Fedora Linux 42
  • Node.js v22.18.0
  • Shopify CLI @shopify/cli 3.86.1
  • Checkout UI extension-only app, also no local changes since last run

I’ve tried logging in and out, specifying the store, updating my CLI. Nothing seems to make a difference.

EDIT: As of 12:06 PM US Central the issue appears to be resolved.

Literally just stared to get this error starting about 3pm EST Nov 13th.

Tried all of the before mentioned steps about logging in and out. was mid session and got kicked out with this error and now can’t start up shopify app devagain.

@NickWesselman has there been another outage/issue today?
