Shopify Mobile App Third-Party App Installation Loops Back to Home Screen

Merchants building stores from mobile cannot add essential apps like popup and conversion tools. The installation failure blocks key store setup tasks that must be completed before launch.

Shopify removes native features in updates to force merchants into paid app subscriptions
Shopify platform updates routinely remove or degrade previously available native functionality, with the removal justified by directing merchants to third-party apps.
