How can I get write access to the API?

Question

When trying to set writing access in the scope I receive the application need permission

webView.loadUrl("https://stackoverflow.com/oauth/dialog?client_id=19361&redirect_uri=https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success&scope=no_expiry,private_info,read_inbox,write_access");
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
    @Override
    public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
        if(url.contains("https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success#access_token=")){
            String code=url.replace("https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success#access_token=","");
            Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
            intent.putExtra("accessToken",code);
            startActivity(intent);

        }
        System.out.println(url);
        super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
    }
});

you should create a stack app and the app should have write acess. — Anshul Tyagi, Jun 13 '22 at 13:29

In order to get an access token with the write_access scope, you need a Stack Apps post.

After registering your application on StackApps and obtaining an API key and a client id, in the "Stack Apps Post" field you should enter the link to a question you have asked.

If you have already registered your app, go to "Manage your applications", select the respective application, scroll to the bottom, click "Edit this app", then enter your question link in the "Stack Apps Post" field. Then, submit your changes.

See My app has to be published first? But it's still under development.
