Developer documentation

Build a safe Jotify app

Start with a private install, request only the scopes you need and design for explicit consent, retries and revocation.

First private install

Getting started

Create a developer account, register a private app and test a reviewed install without enabling public distribution.

Local development toolchain

Create manifests, validate permissions, preview extensions in a device shell and upload digest-bound draft versions with a signed artifact.

Authorization Code + PKCE

Request user-approved scopes without exposing app or user credentials to browser and mobile clients.

Stable contract 2026-08

Authentication, request conventions, error handling and the currently exposed App Platform contract.

Signed delivery

Receive bounded platform events, verify the raw payload before parsing it and make processing idempotent.

One platform, explicit consent

A Jotify app can span several products, but every surface and permission must be declared, consented and reviewed.

15 documented product surfaces: 6 preview, 7 planned and 2 restricted. No status label overrides a launch flag.
