How to integrate Spotify to commercial project? Android and iOS users - integration

At the beginning, I want to apologize for non-developer question. I wasn't able ask this on Meta, because Meta requires 5 reputation just to be able ask any questions.
Question: We want to integrate Spotify for commercial project for Android and iOS users to make them able use music through Spotify.
So where we can get Spotify's approval? How we can sign a contract to start cooperation?
We asked this on Facebook in Spotify official page, they sent us here to ask these.
On the Spotify's website, no email to contact for.
With respect,
Rus
Operation department

Arielle from Spotify here.
If you create a application in the Dashboard on Spotify for Developers (https://beta.developer.spotify.com/dashboard/), you will be prompted to go through a commercial request form, which will ask you for more information about your app. The appropriate teams can then follow up about your request.

Get access to product advertising api as a developer when you have "coming soon" website

I want to get credentials to use the Amazon product api for a project im working on, and to do that I need to open an Associates account.
When opening associates account they asked for a link, so I created a coming soon website in wix and gave this link.
After opening the Associates account I went to sign for product advertising api, but I can't sign up cause they say I need my application to be approved, and to get approved I understood I need to be accepted into the Associates Program.
To be accepted into the Associates Program I think I need to put link on my site and make a purchase from one of the product links in my site? not clear how that actually works...
some blog posts said they create some content on their site, which is fake, cant I just tell Amazon I need the api access so I can build my website and its not relevant before?

How to automate publicly publishing Facebook Messenger bots without app review?

We're completely noob in this automated bot publishing space, so please bear with us :)
We have observed that to make a Messenger chat bot publicly available, we need to get it manually reviewed and only then it's available to the world.
However, chatbot builders like chat fuel & motion.ai do AUTOMATICALLY publish the bots without any manual review process.
A brief guidance so that we understand how these provider are providing automated bot publish will be much appreciated.
Are there any APIs which does automatic bot publishing?
How is the App review process automated?
OR, is the app review process completely omitted?
You don't review the chatbot manually from Facebook.
However, You must need to submit the Facebook app for manual review which serves the webhook to your chatbot (all chatbot associated with that app, to be precise).
As you mentioned chatbot builders like chat fuel & motion.ai do
AUTOMATICALLY publish the bots without any manual review process.
They allow chatbot publishing using platform which in backend uses the FB graph API's to link the chatbot to there app, the app which they have already reviewed from FB. In layman term, single FB app serves to multiple chatbots.
Are there any APIs which does automatic bot publishing?
Yes, FB graph API is the answer for it. Search for Webhook API.
How is the App review process automated?
No, App review process is handled by FB team itself.
OR, is the app review process completely omitted?
No, You can't omit the app review process.
So technically speaking, there is no way around to avoid the app manual review process. This is the one-time process. Once your app gets reviewed, you can allow any chatbot to publish in association with your reviewed app.

How to set up a pre-chat form in Smooch web messenger

I'd like to ask users for their name and email when they open the Smooch web widget, before the chat can be started. Similar to what Frank & Oak does: https://global.frankandoak.com/
I'm not very technical but can find my way around some HTML, CSS and even some javascript. I was hoping someone at Smooch would see my post and provide me with guidance on how to implement this :)
I'd need the name and email to be sent to Front (which I'm using to handle Smooch messages).
I know this might be a lot to ask, but if you find the time to help me, you can then add the answer to your documentation, which would be really cool for non-technical users like me.
Cheers!
From Smooch Web Messenger FAQ
How can I capture user’s info before starting the conversation with the user on the web?
You can create a form on your website and pass us the info in Smooch.init().

How to get LinkedIn user updates in Windows phone 8 app?

I am working on wp8 app and getting user authenticated using linkedin account. Once authentication has been done, i want to display user linkedIn updates. How to get the updates?
LinkedIn prefer the developers to use OAuth 2.0 to implement authorization with LinkedIn APIs. Compared to its predecessor, OAuth 1.0a, the protocol is simpler and much easier to implement.
So first of all you use LinkedIn APIs you must register your application with LinkedIn.
Please find the guidelines provided at LinkedIn Developers Site,
For References Please check: LinkedIn Developers
If any other helps required regarding this please ask.
To retrieve the company updates from the LinkedIn API have a look at this post:

Publish an app on Google Play Store on behalf of another company

How can I (as a vendor contracted to develop an app for an enterprise) publish an app to the Google Play Store on behalf of an enterprise?
They don't have a Google Play account set up but want the app to appear under their brand in the Google Play Store.
What's the correct technical (and legal) process I should follow to set up their account and give my own company access to publish on their behalf?
The bare minimum requirement that I am aware of is that your company should get a written consent from your client, authorizing your company to use their company's name, logo, brand, etc for the expressed purpose of being displayed in Google Play.
My company had done something similar, we publish branded apps for clients, though our company's name is used as the vendor name. One of those apps got removed because some zealous legal guy in one of our client companies found the app and, unaware of the cooperation between the companies, filed a complaint to Google. The app was reinstated without much fuzz after getting that guy to send another email to Google requesting the app to be reinstated, so it looks like Google doesn't have anything against this (assuming your client doesn't reside in a sanctioned country).
You can give them advance notice by providing legal documents via this link
https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6320428
From the page itself...
The Google Play App Review team accepts advance notice about your
upcoming app or store listing publishing event.
We only accept advance notice in the following scenario(s):
You have written documentation proving that you have permission to use
a 3rd party's intellectual property in your app or store listing (e.g.
Brand names and logos, graphic assets, audio, etc.). You have gambling
or casino-style elements in your game, and need to provide your Korean
Game Rating and Administrative Committee (GRAC) rating certificate to
Google so your game can be distributed in Korea.
Lesson learn by one suspended app. Hope this will help others. If your app suspended for such reason you can also contact them via link in the suspension email.
