@Jan_Mantau you seem to be pretty active on here - are you a Strava employee? Any insight on the best way to pass on all these requests to the Strava Development team to get these streamlined?

I’m not from Strava and I don’t know how to reach their API Team in other ways than via the official email address and review form.

@Jan_Mantau no worries. Strava should hire and compensate you for doing a bulk of their job in this forum 😅

One of the questions is, has someone had the validation since April?


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

Good question! I'd really like to know that too. From my side, no validation since April, and things actually seem to have gotten worse: I just sent another follow-up to developers@strava.com and this time I didn't even receive the usual auto-reply confirming the message was received. Not sure if the inbox is being monitored at all at this point.

If anyone here has had a successful validation since April, please share, would be really useful to know whether the process is just slow or completely stalled.

I saw that someone replied to another thread I posted in saying the had finally received a reply May 5 after 3 weeks of waiting. It was an unexplained rejection though. I think several of us got fast replies back in April asking for more info / screenshots.

I think they're just not very interested in approving new apps. They're trying to promote Runna and further expand their own AI service.

At this point with this many responses - I wonder if it would be beneficial for someone (I’m happy to) to compile these into a document, and everyone on this thread can email the developer email with the SAME document. 50 separate emails to Strava with the same list of pending apps and limit increase requests *might* have a better chance. Thoughts?
