I had submitted my application and user limit increase request 20 days ago with no response. Last night, I wrote a brief email to developers@strava.com and got approved this evening.
It’s very disappointing to see this forum so full of developers waiting for feedback! Below are some factors that I think may have contributed to me getting a response. I hope this will help some of you all out!
- My application was very descriptive (probably overly so), spelling out exactly how the API integration served my users and why I needed higher limits. The integration is simple, just reading public routes and uploading ride recordings from my app.
- The app already is on the App Store, not something in development. I know for some apps/services that’s not feasible but I do think that could have helped my application get through.
- For what it’s worth, probably not much, here is the exact email I sent to the team:
Subject: API Request Response
Hope you are well,
I requested app approval and more users for my Strava app over 2 weeks ago. Please take a moment to review my submission.
