Hi! Two questions from building a daily game on Devvit Web 0.15.3 (app not published, installed in my own test subreddits).
1. subscribeToCurrentSubreddit() fails even after the consent prompt
devvit.json:
"permissions": {
"redis": true,
"journeys": true,
"reddit": {
"enable": true,
"scope": "user",
"asUser": ["SUBMIT_COMMENT", "SUBSCRIBE_TO_SUBREDDIT"]
}
}
On a button tap, the client calls canRunAsUser(event). Reddit shows the prompt ("Give … limited access to your Reddit Account … Post comments as you, Subscribe you to r/…"), and I tap Allow. Then the server calls reddit.subscribeToCurrentSubreddit() and gets:
2 UNKNOWN: permission not granted for [SUBSCRIBE_TO_SUBREDDIT]
submitComment({ runAs: 'USER' }) from the same app and the same user works fine after the same prompt. Is subscribing as the user restricted, for example only for published or approved apps, or am I missing a step?
2. Journeys: is there a public way to report STARTED / COMPLETED?
With permissions.journeys: true, I can see the plumbing in the SDK: createServer installs a per-request user-progress notifier (x-devvit-user-progress header), the web client forwards that header from /api/* responses, and there are TelemetryPlugin RPCs (StartJourney, JourneyProgress, EndJourney). But I can't find a public, typed function to mark a player's journey as started (first move) or completed (puzzle submitted, with a score), in 0.15.3 or the 0.15.4 pre-release.
Is there a supported way to do this now, or is it coming?
The receipts mention DENIED_PLAYTEST and DENIED_NOT_ALLOWLISTED. Does an app need allowlisting, and can it be tested before publishing?
Thanks!
