Can we add custom domain to dev convex deployment?

Currently it seems like we can add custom domain only to prod deployments. Are there any plans to extend that to dev deployments as well?

Thanks for looking into it. We need a webhook API that our partners can call, but in development environments, we face a challenge because we cannot provide them with a Convex site URL. Our partners require us to register using a specific company domain, which cannot be easily changed. As a result, we rely on ngrok as a workaround to expose our dev environment. However, if custom domains were supported in development deployments, it would greatly simplify the development process and improve the overall dev experience. Is there any strong reason this is not supported in dev deployments?

No technical reason. We've shied from providing prod features in dev because sometimes folks ship their dev deployments as their production backend without realizing it. But this seems like a real need that we didn't anticipate. We'll discuss more internally. Thanks for letting us know!
