Struggling to preview with theme dev command for theme extension

Hello. I have a gadget app for which I have also created a Shopify theme extension embed. I am running the shopify:dev command, however when I click the link it gives it I get this message: This makes it hard to preview while I build it

Hello, You need to first make sure that you install your application on the store on which you'd like to preview your extension

What command are you actually using? shopify app dev/yarn shopify:dev? Btw, you can see your theme app extension in the theme customizer.

I'm not sure that this is a Gadget issue since you're running a Shopify CLI command If you have anymore questions on this topic, please let us know. For the time being, I'm going to mark this as closed
