Research direction
Start with the Base Dashboard app selector and Register App flow described in the reproduction steps, then inspect the redirect behavior and Network panel for the missing app-creation request. Compare the registration route with the existing-project route. Done means a user with one existing app can register a second app, receive a new App ID, and continue domain verification.

Description
Description
I'm unable to register a second app in the new Base Dashboard.
I already have an existing app called GM Base registered under my Base account. I now want to register another app called Base Daily.
From the Base Dashboard, I click my existing app name in the top-left corner and select Register App.
The registration page appears for approximately 1–2 seconds, but then automatically redirects me back to my existing GM Base project.
Because of this redirect, I cannot proceed with the registration flow or create a new App ID.
Steps to reproduce
- Sign in to Base Dashboard.
- Have an existing registered app/project.
- Click the current app name in the top-left app selector.
- Select Register App.
- The registration page appears briefly.
- The Dashboard automatically redirects back to the already registered project.
Expected behavior
The Register App option should allow me to create a second app and generate a new App ID so I can continue with the domain verification flow.
Actual behavior
The registration page appears for approximately 1–2 seconds and then redirects to my existing GM Base project. I cannot create the new App ID.
Testing
I reproduced the issue with:
- Chrome
- Chrome Incognito
- Microsoft Edge InPrivate
I also inspected the Network panel. Clicking through the registration flow did not appear to result in an app-creation request before the redirect.
Reproduced by others
I reported this issue in the Base Discord developer forum.
Another Base ecosystem developer reproduced the same behavior and reported:
"same problem with me. I think it's a base dashboard problem."
The issue was then escalated to a Base team member, who also reproduced it and responded:
"thanks for reporting. I'm gonna flag this to our DevRel team since the issue appears on my side as well."
App details
New app: Base Daily
Existing app: GM Base
Production domain: base-daily-three.vercel.app
The Base Daily app itself is already deployed and publicly accessible. The blocker is specifically the Base Dashboard registration / App ID creation flow.
Environment
- Windows 11
- Chrome and Microsoft Edge
- Tested in normal and private browser sessions
- Base account already contains one registered app: GM Base
Request
Could the Base team please investigate the Register App → existing project redirect behavior?
If there is a supported workaround or direct route for creating another App ID while this Dashboard issue is being fixed, that would also be very helpful.
