The Extended Quota form requires 250,000 MAU minimum, which creates an impossible situation for indie developers — I can't grow to 250k without giving users access to Spotify features, but I can't get access without 250k users.</P><P>I've already:<BR />- Added my Bundle ID on the Spotify Developer Dashboard<BR />- Configured my Redirect URIs correctly<BR />- Published the app on the App Store</P><P>Client ID: f01171f297ff45c990bd2778c5c90bd5</P><P>Has any indie developer here successfully obtained Extended Quota?
