Raymond Camden : Related to my question about Google Photos, it looks like if I could use the Google auth PD supports, but modify the scopes, I’d have access. But I don’t think we can modify the scopes, right?
Tod Sacerdoti : i can look into this.
Tod Sacerdoti : We will submit a new app for Google Photos and update you when approved.
Raymond Camden : thank you! and to be clear, this is not Business Critical. This is, “I had an idea for a fun app” critical.
Tod Sacerdoti : We agree Google’s process is unnecessarily painful!
Raymond Camden : lord i tell ya - normally my work with them is: 90% fighting auth, 10% using the API once past that. yall’s work has made that SO better
Raymond Camden : Still not urgent, but just curious if you were able to edit the scopes?
Tod Sacerdoti : The last communication from google said they will respond in 4-6 weeks. App approvals with Google have been getting longer and more complex lately so I don’t have an update at this time.
Raymond Camden : Wow I had no idea.
Tod Sacerdoti : Latest guidance - “External apps that request sensitive or restricted user data must first be verified by Google. This process may take 4-6 weeks. In addition, if you selected restricted scopes, you’ll need to go through an independent security review, which can cost USD $15k-$75k. Learn more about verification.”
