App
Expected behavior
npm run dev should start a tunnel & start the dev server. Instead it gives an error. The previous issue https://github.com/Shopify/cli/issues/1980 was closed without resolution. The workaround to spin up a tunnel first & then use the tunnel-url with npm run dev works but I don’t think is the expectd workflow, if it is, it would be good for it to be documented in https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/getting-started/create.

For what it’s worth, there may be a small possibility that cloudflare tunnels are down or having issues at times. I’ve just spent my morning trying to debug this issue and then found out that I couldn’t create my own tunnel using cloudflared cli, which then lead me to realise cloudflare are having issues.

I came across this issue too. I could set up a workaround with ngrok.
ngrok http 5000yarn dev --tunnel-url https://the-forwarding-addres.app:5000(the name of the port after the address)Worked for me also. Thanks!!
As instructed by @NanyThery , the following commands worked for me:
My dev environment :
I started facing this issue suddenly when the Cloudflare services started facing issues today.
