You can pass `--reset` to your command to reset your app configuration.

Hi there 👋
I am going to transfer this ticket over to the CLI repository.

Hi @alexanderhupfer, seems like you have a environment variable that is overriding the api-key value.
Somewhere in your system you have SHOPIFY_FLAG_APP_API_KEY=42xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx1

when you use --reset we ignore any cached value, but if you provide an api_key via env var, it will take precedence.
In other words, you are both ignoring cached values and setting a new one in the some command.

Just remove the environment variable and --reset will work again :)
