Hi,
I’m unable to start a local dev session with Shopify CLI for my app, even though the app, org, and dev stores are all under
the same account.
Environment:
- Date: May 11, 2026
- Shopify CLI version: 3.94.3
- Organization: AURELON
- App name: FreshOS
Problem:
shopify app dev fails with this error:
The App Dev GraphQL API responded unsuccessfully with the HTTP status 403 and errors: “Cannot find a valid organization
associated to this shop”.
This happens on multiple development stores in the same organization:
What I already verified:
- I am logged into the correct Shopify account.
- The app FreshOS is in organization AURELON.
- Both dev stores are in the same organization.
- I tested with a second newly created dev store and got the same error.
- I also fixed local config issues and retried with explicit store/config selection.
Commands used:
shopify app dev --config freshosconfig --store fresos.myshopify.com --verbose
shopify app dev --config freshosconfig --store your-new-store-maehg9wr.myshopify.com --verbose
Additional note:
At one point CLI also reported a store password issue on the new store, but after addressing that, the run still returned to
the same 403 organization-association error.
Can someone check whether there is a backend org/store association issue for this app or account, and whether these dev stores
are correctly recognized for shopify app dev under organization AURELON?
Thanks.
