Illegal Scope after still getting Approved

Illegal Scope after still getting Approved

I made a web application and recently it was approved for a quota extension.  However, currently, there is an error message saying "Illegal Scope" whenever i try to authenticate a user via Spotify's OAuth. 

 

Am I doing wrong, it has been more than 2 days since i have been approved and I have tried everything, I even submitted a request to have a scope extension with a more thorough overview of which scope i am using.

 

Here is my authorization scopes where i am making the request to

 

 

authorize?response_type=code
&client_id=[REDACTED]
&state=[REDACTED]
&redirect_uri=[REDACTED]
&scope=playlist-read-private
%20user-follow-read
%20user-top-read
%20user-read-recently-played
%20playlist-read-collaborative
%20playlist-modify-public
%20playlist-modify-private

Have you tried to change the %20 to spaces?

I tried removing the %20 to spaces the issue still persists :S

However as soon as i remove all scopes, the authentication page appears as normal

And if you add the scopes one-by-one?

I removed the scopes one-by-one and tried adding them in one-by-one but the issue still occurs. 

I thought it could have been an issue with a single scope being illegal, but I think all of them are. 

Could there be something wrong with the scopes and how they are associated with my client id. I am not sure what is going on :S

 

I have already sent a scope extension request a couple of days ago further going into detail on how I plan to use each scope.  I hope this issue can get resolved quickly :S

 

Hey!So have u made this done? How did u do that? I'm facing this problem too. Pls help me.
