Link to staging for new Apps

[ChiEn]

Hi @Maxim welcome to the Community!!

Thanks for writing in. Based on what's been reported in this community, the _environment URL parameter doesn't switch environments for published apps built with the new app builder. Those apps appear to use production. Resource environments can be toggled while you build and preview in the editor.

The product team has acknowledged this gap here, with an update on the direction they're considering:

Published Apps from App Builder doesn't support environment?

Hey all, Tanner from the product team here! Sorry for the delay in sharing an update. We’re planning to tackle this in the coming weeks. One approach we’re considering, which would be notably different from the Classic implementation, is exposing resource environments through a custom hook (similar to currentUser()). The goal would be to give you more flexibility in how you implement and use this functionality within your apps. We’d love feedback on this direction: would a hook-based approach…

That thread is the best place to follow updates, and adding your use case there would help. For now, testing against staging data has to happen in the editor or preview. Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime!
