Newly Created Beta Application Not Displaying on the Page

ChatGPT Apps SDK
1

Dear OpenAI Support Team,

Hello! I am a beginner using the OpenAI Developer Platform, and I have encountered an issue while creating an application. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this.

I followed the steps to create a local test application through Advanced Settings → Developer Mode → Create Application in the platform.

After creating the application, I noticed that the new application link does not display on the page. I used developer tools (F12) to inspect the network requests.

Here is the response I received when creating the application link:

https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/aip/connectors/links/noauth
{
    "id": "link_6948fc7886a88191ad95590dabed7b11",
    "created_at": "2025-12-22T08:08:24.526205Z",
    "connector_id": "connector_6948fc73b0608191b97b026164d7a6e2",
    "name": "test33",
    "actions": [
        "hello-world",
        "ai-generator",
        "generate_image",
        "check_job_status",
        "generate_video"
    ],
    "auth_type": "NONE",
    "auth_status": "ACTIVE",
    "visibility": "VISIBLE",
    "connector_status": "ENABLED"
}

Despite successfully creating the application and the response showing its visibility as VISIBLE, the application link does not display on the page. I have tried refreshing the page multiple times and inspected the network requests using developer tools, but the issue persists.

As a new developer, I would like to ask the following questions:

  1. Is there any limitation related to my account type (I am on a free plan) that might prevent me from seeing the newly created application link on the page?

  2. Could this issue be due to a platform update delay, causing the new link not to display immediately?

  3. If the issue is related to other configurations or settings, could you provide some guidance or solutions to resolve it?

I greatly appreciate your help and look forward to your advice and solutions.

Thank you for your time and support!

HI there. @t9282 have you tried testing to find your app in a chat yet? I experienced the same as you (app didn’t show up once created, in any Apps list in my settings, sidebar or otherwise), but it was discoverable with @appname in a chat immediately after.

Hope it’s there for you also. Seems like limited UI in this beta maybe, although I was also thrown off by no confirmation at all in the screen and the app creation window just closing.

I just need a little more clarification on what you mean by “the application link does not display on the page”.

You won’t be able to see it under “App” on the sidebar, however, if you click the “+” next to your chat input, and check under “More…” it will be listed under there. It will also show up under “Apps” in your Settings.

If you type the app name first “My Application “ and hit space, you’ll see it highlight as bold, and then it will show up linked to your chat at the bottom in the footer of the “composer” area (the input box)

hi @benlesh . For me, the issue occurred immediately after Adding the App, i.e., under “Apps” in your Settings, where it did not appear and no other visual indication of success occurred when the Create App window closed. My logs showed it worked if I checked, but if I recall it wasn’t until I went elsewhere in ChatGPT and spend some time wondering what the heck had happened before I was able to see it had worked. Being my first time creating an App in ChatGPT it was an odd flow, but I recognize it’s beta and was thrilled when I did find it in a chat, then later returning to my Settings Apps seeing it there also.

It’s a vague memory now, but might be explained by some delay propogating through systems and low priority on UI flow for devs (some errors did appear on my unsuccessful attempts, so there was that)

I see. Perhaps this issue no longer exists? I haven’t seen this happen, and without replication steps I’m not sure how I can help.

Do you happen to have a minimal reproduction I could try?
