App
Expected behavior
shopify app config link / shopify app dev should resolve my organization and app record. The organization and app record are fully visible and functional on dev.shopify.com (web dashboard) under the same authenticated account.
Actual behavior
Every app command fails with HTTP 404 from the App Management GraphQL API: Cannot find a valid organization. This blocks app dev, app config link and app init entirely - we cannot upload our theme app extension or run preview.

Timeline
- Organization created today (Oct 5, 2026) on dev.shopify.com; the first CLI attempt ~2h later already failed with the same 404. It has never succeeded.
- This is the only organization on the account (no comparison case).
- Re-auth (
shopify auth logout+ fresh device login), CLI 4.8.4 (latest stable) and nightly builds all fail identically - not a CLI release regression. - Partner Support ticket was filed first; support confirmed this needs backend verification and routed us here.
Details

Ask: verify App Management API provisioning for organizations 239033978 / 5231408 - the org appears unresolvable on the App Management backend while everything on the web dashboard side is normal.

Deeper diagnosis (direct API probing with the CLI's own session token, read-only):
The failure is NOT app-specific - the App Management gateway cannot establish ANY organization context for this identity, while the BusinessPlatform side sees it fine.
Evidence:
UserInfoquery) returns:{"currentUserAccount": {"uuid": "62e14714-e8c9-48bb-8ed6-22be0a3a4024", "email": "99xxxxx@qq.com", "organizations": {"nodes": [{"name": "Oujiang AI Information Services"}]}}}So the identity→organization link exists on the BusinessPlatform side, and the CLI is logged into the same account that owns the dashboard.
Authorization: Bearer <identity token>:An
appslist query does not reference any specific app or org, yet it still 404s - the gateway fails while resolving the caller's organization context, before query execution.01a10b3e-505b-726b-a004-3772f5564b72-1791189995,01a10ab1-e08c-7faa-80b7-c9722543f172-1791180791.Conclusion: the organization "Oujiang AI Information Services" (dev.shopify.com org 239033978 / Partner org 5231408) is visible to the BusinessPlatform but absent from the App Management authorization layer's organization index for user
62e14714-e8c9-48bb-8ed6-22be0a3a4024. BothappByKeyand org-independent queries fail identically.Specific ask: check the App Management org-index wiring for this user/org pair - likely provisioning between the new Dev Dashboard backend and the App Management service was not completed for orgs created there. Happy to run any specific probe that helps.

Control experiment result (2026-10-06): not platform-wide — org-scoped provisioning failure.
We ran an A/B probe within the same minute, using the same CLI session token (atkn_2 opaque token), same account:
