Quota extension refused : commercial SDAs

[jessieryanmusic]

Hello lovely Spotify Community, 

I sent a request to extend my quota to put my app on the store. But I have received this message :  

This is a notification that your submission was not approved for the following reason(s) : The Spotify Platform can not be used to develop commercial SDAs.

Can someone enlighten me on this ? 

• My app is displaying a swiper with some artists + metadata
• A player if you use Spotify Premium
• No ads
• No in-app purchases

Is there something I am missing ? Or maybe did I fill the form wrong ? 

Plan

Premium

Country

FR

Device

iPhone 13

I would also like an answer to this question.

Anyone from Spotify who can potentially help on this issue please ?

Hey,

the reason is that as soon as you have a player (which makes your app a streaming SDA), you're not allowed to monetize it in any way.

Hope this helps!

Does your app cost money?
