We are integrating the Uber API into an app that is still in the development phase and not quite ready to go through the privileged scope request process. The API documentation states that "During development, your account (and any developer accounts you list on the dashboard) will be able to authorize these [privileged] scopes without whitelisting."
However, it seems that we are unable to access these privileged scopes at the moment, even just for development purposes. Can someone help us understand why this might be the case? We have put together a document with screenshots and commands to help illustrate the issue, which we can share via email if someone from the Uber API team is kindly able to help. Thanks!
