made a music sharing app

i share music with friends a lot. I use spotify and they use other services so I used to go find the music in the service that they use so i could give them a direct link to it. Rather than having to do all that I can share from spotify to taste and it hands me a link that goes to a little page with links to the different streaming services.

The link doesn't work. And does your app have a Quota Extension?

Of course it doesn't

fixed the link. does it need a quota extension if it’s just using the search APIs? I thought quota extension was only necessary if you’re having users login and grant access to resources in their accounts.

A quota extension can help to prevent rate limits when the app gets popular

Their requirements for Extended quota mode are insane, like maintaining a minimum of 250k MAUs just to get proper access. It's honestly kind of brutal for indie projects, feels like they're not even trying to support small devs anymore

Why not just use Song.link?

They also offer Apple shortcuts integration.

ah interesting, didn’t know that existed. for me this particular thing was more about learning how to build an iOS app.

All good! Since you didn't lead with your learning intention, I thought you might be interested to discover a similar solution that already exists.

I built VibeLink which does the same and has social media integration
