404 with _app getInitialProps

[1derwood]

This seems to be a new fatal error in the latest version?

pages/404 can not have getInitialProps/getServerSideProps, https://err.sh/zeit/next.js/404-get-initial-props

If you have getInitialProps in _app, is there a way to have a functioning 404 page?

Hi, it looks like you're running into this issue #10919 which was resolved in v9.3.1 of Next.js specifically this PR #10974. You are allowed to use pages/404 even if you have getInitialProps in pages/_app although it will not be statically optimized currently since you are defining an app wide data dependency when using getInitialProps in pages/_app
