Issue: Embedded App Navigation Menu Not Showing #534
Description
Issue summary
I’ve been working with the Shopify App Template PHP and I’m running into an issue where the embedded app navigation menu isn’t showing up. I used the Shopify CLI to create a new PHP app (using shopify app create php) and followed all the setup instructions, but the menu just won’t appear in the Shopify admin panel when I try to use the app.
Write a short description of the issue here ↓
Here’s what I’ve tried:
- I created the app using the Shopify CLI: shopify app create php
- Followed all the setup steps in the README.md
- Ran the app using the provided commands.
- Logged into Shopify Admin, opened the app, and noticed that the navigation menu is missing.
Expected behavior
The navigation menu should appear on the left side of the embedded app interface in the Shopify admin panel, so users can easily navigate between sections of the app.
What do you think should happen?
Actual behavior
The menu is nowhere to be found, so I can’t switch between different sections of the app. It’s just a blank spot where the menu should be.
What actually happens?

A few more details:
I created the app using the Shopify CLI, and everything else seems to be working, like authentication and the app’s basic functionality.
No errors are showing in the browser’s console, and I’ve checked that the necessary JavaScript and CSS files seem to be loading fine.
