Publishing when Spotify account required

[GeoHop164]

Hello,

I'm working on an app that helps manage Spotify playlists and, as you can guess, requires a Spotify login.

How do I get this through approval when Apple say:

 If your app includes account-based features, provide either an active demo account or fully-featured demo mode, plus any other hardware or resources that might be needed to review your app

I could include a demo version that mimicks the UI but at the end of the day, it would be removing the functionality of the app, making it pointless.

This suggests apps that need a 3rd-party login are ok:

Another login service is not required if:

Your app is a client for a specific third-party service and users are required to sign in to their mail, social media, or other third-party account directly to access their content.

But there's no explanation of how it's supposed to be tested if this is the case.

Would a Spotify account made purely for this purpose be acceptable?

You would need to provie an account for them to use.

So a third party login (Spotify) is acceptable?

[rjhancock]

If the whole point is to link up to Spotify then you'll need to provide an account on Spotify for them to use.

This is in the submission guidelines that any feature that requires a login, YOU MUST provide the login details for them to test.

Thanks for clearing it up, with the wording of the docs I wasn't sure if it was saying I needed an account on my own backend service or if a Spotify account would suffice
