Hello Strava Developer folks.  Thank you for the program update to the Developer API, good stuff and quite welcome.

On the new subscription requirement for standard tier:  Your practice in the past has been to approve multiple Client IDs for different levels e.g. production, staging, testing, etc.  Each client ID requires a separate account, and these are all listed on the application.  In the new world will all levels require a subscription, or just the production level for an app?  Or perhaps you mean that once an app is approved for Extended Tier, then all associated Client IDs are upgraded and no longer require a subscription?

Thanks for the clarification,

Dave

    Hi ​@dlandre, may I ask where you can see all you client ids listed together on the same application?

    ​@Jan_Mantau on the application there is an entry for “Strava Client ID” and a separate entry for “Additional Apps”, with the description “Provide the client IDs of any additional apps (staging, development, etc.) that use Strava’s API.”

    Reposting my answer without hyperlink so it doesn’t go into moderation…  The API application form has the following form elements:

    Strava Client ID *
    Note: This ID must be generated through this process. This is not your athlete ID.

    Additional Apps
    Provide the client IDs of any additional apps (staging, development, etc.) that use Strava’s API.
