Hey @remyoswalt! I've faced the same issue, however the error is coming for js files from ts setup which is weird. The workaround with js files for this is to wrap shop with String(shop) and req.query with ~~JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(req.query))~~ Object(req.query).

If you'd like to try the same template with TS setup, you can checkout shopify-app-template-typescript that I maintain and this error is avoided more in TS way -- https://github.com/kanzitelli/shopify-app-template-typescript/blob/main/server/index.ts#L98

@kanzitelli, Thank you so much for helping, is there not any way to solve this error within js files? I am not that much familiar with typescript and personally want to use javascript for the whole project.

@remyoswalt sure, you can try these lines of code for js:

if (app.get("active-shopify-shops")[String(shop)] === undefined && shop) {
  res.redirect(`/auth?${new URLSearchParams(Object(req.query)).toString()}`);
} else {
  next();
}

Basically, you just force wrap them with String() and Object(). The errors should disappear.
