How to redirect as a "Sales Channel"

[g-hamilton]

Hi,

In the afterAuth method, I need to redirect the user to my embedded app, which is a sales channel.

Using the method as per your guide/example:

ctx.redirect(`/?shop=${shop}&host=${host}`);

This redirects me here:

https://test-shop.myshopify.com/admin/apps/41d33bca21f2a6a7f7ade535087632eb/?shop=test-shop.myshopify.com&host=aGFtc3RlcnMtY29mZmVlLm15c2hvcGlmeS5jb20vYWRtaV9

Which puts me on the "Apps" tab of my test shop, and which says "There's no page at this address".

I don't want to redirect to the "Apps" tab. I do want to redirect to my app in the "Sales Channels" tab. After app install, if I hover the mouse over my sales channel app in the shop admin, I note that the URL is:

https://test-shop.myshopify.com/admin/apps/app-2?channel=true

Note the channel query param in the URL

So I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but if I simply append a channel param like so:

ctx.redirect(`/?shop=${shop}&host=${host}&channel=true`);

The channel param is stripped away and I still end up on the "Apps" tab rather than "Sales Channels". How do I redirect my users to the correct place after installing my sales channel?

Thanks
