Confirmed, we will remove apps if you name them after a very popular, known app.

JustinBeckwith avatar Sep 11 '24 17:09 JustinBeckwith

so why not just show a helpful error message instead?

I agree that would be better, it's just work that we haven't prioritized yet.

JustinBeckwith avatar Sep 11 '24 17:09 JustinBeckwith

Okay I understand that and that makes total sense, but I'm having the same problem even when naming the bot something completely unrelated

jstowey avatar Sep 11 '24 19:09 jstowey

I've tried a few seemingly random names and none have stuck.

It's an anti abuse behavior which can trigger even if you don't impersonate any app. If it keeps happening to you, the only thing you can really do is copy the bot's id and submit an appeal at https://dis.gd/request, like suggested by staff in the comment I've linked above.

I left it alone overnight and then tried my preferred name the next day. It worked fine.

edwinmp avatar Oct 07 '24 08:10 edwinmp

This issue still present. I tried many different random app names.

TolgaYigit avatar Oct 16 '24 12:10 TolgaYigit

Any other solution to this issue?.

Update: Using a different email account worked. So in some cases it might be related to that.

How to get this working?

Even an application created with unique (not-spam) name gets deleted without any informative message. :(

This is completely broken. It seems implossible to create a new app at this moment I've tried everything from a generic descriptive names to random number sequences and password generators.

LazyTarget avatar Oct 29 '24 10:10 LazyTarget

I'm having the same issue. It's a bit crazy that there's not even a message that gets displayed. That should literally take like less than an hour to code into the product instead of just randomly deleting the app. I just wasted an hour trying to figure out what was going on because of the lack of a simple message.

I was hoping to create a custom app but now I'm not even sure if I want to waste any more time on this.

Same issue still. Just trying to create an app, but it is silently deleted immediately. This shows as 'Unknown Application' when trying to update it.

zimpzon avatar Nov 03 '24 16:11 zimpzon

Same thing happens here, this is very weird. I tried different names, different browsers, every time I created an app go to the bot section to get the token it shows "unknown application", and I have to refresh, once refreshed, the whole app is gone and I have to recreate one and every changes I make it is the same thing - "unknown application" - app gone, nothing is working, this is getting frustrating.

I found a workaround by using a different account (used my personal gmail instead of the one provided by my job). Chaning my email account worked. I have no idea the reasons though.

Before trying your solution I tried again with the same account I used yesterday, and now it worked! I didn't switch to another account.

zimpzon avatar Nov 04 '24 10:11 zimpzon

Happening to me too, so so frustrating considering the apps just "disappear"

atbe avatar Nov 04 '24 16:11 atbe

My apps keep disappearing as well. Sometimes they stick until a put a photo or interactions link and then they disappear.

Same issue here...unable to add an application. As soon as you want to save a change: Unknown Application

Goodyear1555 avatar Nov 06 '24 09:11 Goodyear1555

I think this has been broken for a least a few months. I remember trying a while ago and today I'm getting the same error "Unknown Application" when I try to save a new OAuth app.

Same issue, after approximately 10s the app (lots of different names tried) is deleted, leading to 'Unknown Application' error when trying to edit.

jozzert avatar Nov 10 '24 08:11 jozzert

Yeah still happening. Been dealing with the issue that the app is created and then goes away. Happens right after the token reset action every time. Even tried naming dev bots to something like nsdtesting05 and still ends up getting deleted.

nonstopdevelopment avatar Nov 12 '24 22:11 nonstopdevelopment

Yes still issue persists

mishenThakshana avatar Nov 13 '24 11:11 mishenThakshana

Same issue here. @JustinBeckwith any proposed workaround? (tagging since you reopened).

MarinPostma avatar Nov 13 '24 13:11 MarinPostma

Tried making various bots for my classroom. Same issue.

thebraino avatar Nov 13 '24 14:11 thebraino

There is no proposed workaround as of yet, but we are actively looking into the problem, and will get back to the thread this week.

JustinBeckwith avatar Nov 13 '24 15:11 JustinBeckwith

Just wanted to confirm, application creation via https://discord.com/developers/applications is down hard. Applications are not created and user's are given "Unknown Application" if they try to save. Had multiple people try to create an application, all with the same error.

Hopefully someone will take this bug report seriously :pray:

I am unsure about the Application Name theory as even making a bot with the name of "sjdilfjldksfjldk" is deleted.

EDIT: It seems some accounts can create Applications, and some cannot. Unsure what the difference between these accounts is

I created a new Gmail and signed up with that, and could create an app without any issue. It seems to be linked to the user rather than the app name?

I tried the same thing and also was able to create an app. It seems like discord has a "magic" way they ban users from creating apps, with out reporting, explaining, or providing an appeal process. It is a very hostile environment to work in.
