Show only dev store to test extension when running shopify app dev

When running shopify app dev, the list of stores available for testing extensions includes all stores, not just development stores. This makes it frustrating to find my dev store among hundreds of real stores.

If showing all stores is necessary, that’s fine, but the search function isn’t working either, making it impossible to locate my dev store. Right now, my workaround is to select a random store, immediately cancel the command, and then manually update my .toml file with my dev store.

Is there a way to filter or search specifically for dev stores?

I’m using the latest Shopify CLI version, @3.75.0

Also, when selecting a non-dev store, I get the following error:

The store you specified is not a dev store

If a store isn’t eligible for dev, it shouldn’t appear in the list in the first place.

Hi again Gulam,

The CLI team confirmed this experience with search is a bug and will work on a fix.
