Issue with Shopify CLI for Theme Development – Persistent Login Failure Despite Correct Permissions #30

Description

@cloudworksglobal

I am facing a persistent issue with Shopify CLI when trying to log in for theme development. Despite having all the necessary permissions and following the recommended steps, I am unable to proceed beyond the login phase.

I completed the following tasks.

  1. Install Node.js (v22.12.0) and Shopify CLI using the following commands:
    npm install -g @shopify/cli @shopify/theme
    

Log in via Shopify CLI using the following command:

shopify login --store .myshopify.com

Attempt to authenticate using the credentials linked to a Shopify Partners account.

Expected Behavior
The CLI should successfully log in and allow me to start theme development by running shopify theme dev.
Actual Behavior
The authentication fails with no apparent error linked to permissions or roles.
The error persists across different devices, networks, and browsers, confirming that it is not related to access restrictions or a misconfiguration in Shopify Partners.

Troubleshooting Steps Performed
Verified that the Shopify Partners account has admin-level permissions and full theme development roles enabled.
Tested in multiple environments (e.g., browsers, incognito mode) and on different machines to rule out local issues.
I followed the official documentation and contacted Shopify Support, who confirmed that the permissions were correct but couldn't identify the root cause.

Checked Node.js installation and ensured that the CLI installation was up-to-date.
Environment
Operating System: [Insert OS: e.g., Windows 10, macOS Ventura]
Node.js Version: v22.12.0
Shopify CLI Version: [Insert the specific CLI version]
Store Type: Shopify Development Store (via Shopify Partners)

I would be grateful for any assistance anyone can provide.
