Hello TIDAL Developer Team,
I'm building an iOS app using the official TIDAL Player SDK and would like to ask how to obtain a
higher access tier that permits full-length playback for subscribed users.
App details
Client ID: FqHus0A21nTN6ink
playlists.write, playback, entitlements.read
What the app does — TrackGuess is a music timeline party game (similar in spirit to "Hitster"): a
user imports their own TIDAL playlists, a track plays "blind", players guess the release year.
Personal/hobby project.
The issue — Login and user-level credentials work correctly. On playback,
PlayerListener.mediaTransitioned reports assetPresentation = PREVIEW, duration ≈ 29.9s,
previewReason = FULL_REQUIRES_HIGHER_ACCESS_TIER. Credentials resolve to .user level and the
account has an active paid subscription — the reason is explicitly FULL_REQUIRES_HIGHER_ACCESS_TIER
(not FULL_REQUIRES_SUBSCRIPTION), so the limit is on the app's access tier, not the subscription.
My request — How can I apply for / be granted the access tier required for full-length playback for
subscribed users?
Compliance — Playback runs only through the official, unmodified TIDAL Player SDK, with clear TIDAL
attribution, no downloading/caching, no DRM bypass, full-length only for subscribers.
