I have confirmed this with more certainty that this issue may be related to a normal user without admin permission. If I use an admin account to run the command create-proton-app my-app, I will not meet the error. It seems that some commands need admin permission but it will not popup dialog to ask for admin password when create-proton-app command executes.

Could you try that out?
