Friend API testing issues (App ID: 4811116801)

Hi Kakao Developers,

App ID: 4811116801

We are from the TikTok team and we are currently testing the Kakao Friend API and encountered the following issues with our test accounts:

We are encountering the following issues with our test accounts:

  1. Account is under user protection measures and cannot send messages to new friends or be binded to our app. (Sophie.xue@bytedance.com, shyamala.peesapati@bytedance.com)

  2. Account cannot be found by other users. Scanning the QR code returns “There is no KakaoTalk friend using this QR code.” (Sophie.xue@bytedance.com, shyamala.peesapati@bytedance.com)

  3. Talk Safety Pass is only available for Korean phone numbers, so we cannot complete the verification process. Is there any alternative for overseas developers to test Friend API?

Screenshots are attached.

Thank you!

Hello,

Kakao Developers does not have the authority to review or remove user protection measures applied to Kakao Accounts. Please contact the Kakao Account Customer Center for assistance with this issue.

KakaoTalk does not provide a separate user protection removal process specifically for developers. As indicated in the notice, Talk Safety Pass is available only to users who can complete verification using a Korean mobile phone number. Therefore, for testing purposes, please use an account that can be verified with a Korean mobile phone number.

Thank you.
