https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Monetization-of-an-app-using-Android-iOS-remote-SDK/m-p/5481057#M7486 <P>Hi. I'd like some help understanding terms of the developer policy regarding commercial use/monetization of apps. From what I understand, I'm not allowed to earn any money from an app that would stream music directly from the API. This is clear to me. However I saw how SDKs for Android/iOS work and from what I understand they don't directly do any streaming, they merely act as a remote control for Spotify app? If my app consisted of (without going into much detail) mainly playlist editing with possibility of playback and seeking, I would think that it doesn't make my app a streaming app in this case as playback only works via remote control of Spotify, as long as I wouldn't do any direct streaming from API. But I would like some confirmation on that. I wasn't planning for my app to be paid anyway but I did think about putting in some ads for some revenue and maybe a possibility to pay for their removal. I'd like some confirmation if I can do any of that.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks!</P> Sat, 31 Dec 2022 11:58:01 GMT pmm3 2022-12-31T11:58:01Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Monetization-of-an-app-using-Android-iOS-remote-SDK/m-p/5481057#M7486 <P>Hi.
