What can I do if I can't provide demo account?

T1ji — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:13:53 GMT

I recently made a Minecraft mod, that links your game to Spotify. However, the login process is difficult for people who aren't very good on computer. Therefore, I decided to change auth method that involves PKCE, so that they don't need to make developer app themselves. Now I need to apply for Quota mode, which requires me to provide demo account. However, I am individual developer, and buying fresh account is too expensive. Is there any workarounds?

Hi @T1ji

If you don't provide a demo account, I assume they use their own.

Thank you for your reply, however Minecraft mod requires Minecraft to run itself, and Minecraft is not a free game. I don't think spotify wants to pay just for testing app.

Hi @T1ji

While thinking about the issue, I read the Spotify Developer Policy.

On that page you can read: "Do not create any product or service which is integrated with streams or content from another service."

In this case, this rule prohibits the integration of Spotify into games like Minecraft.
