Hi Greg-DB ,
We already have a production-approved app that uses your API (openmusic.io). We are considering a change that would mean less friction for users. The change would involve using a single Dropbox account (eg. Advanced) and enabling users to take advantage of the storage and sync capabilities via the API. We would thereby cover the costs for our users. In a previous post, you said it is technically feasible but not supported.
My question is: if we build it (or adapt the current app for this purpose), do we need to reapply for production approval?

3 years agohorton Apps already in production do not need to re-apply for production, but again I should highlight that this single-user pattern is not officially supported. In any case, production status is only needed for apps that need to have more than 50 accounts linked, so it wouldn't be technically needed in that case anyway.
