Step 1: Create a Developer Account

Conclusion

If your app willis beused for internal purposes and the users accessing it have a role within the application, it is not necessarily required to switch to "Live" mode.

Switch your app to Live

If your app is used by app users who do not have a role on your app or a role in a Business that has claimed your app, you must switch App Mode to "Live" and request approval for each permission via App Review before non-role app users can grant them to your app. This step is required by those who have Mixpost Enterprise.
