Hello, I have requested to create an OAuth client with `client-id` of `sensor-master-app-testing` using the comand `ttn-lw-cli clients create ...`. This was done on the 9th of March.

I am wondering how long does it usually take for a client request to be approved or is there some step that I have missed?

Executing `ttn-lw-cli clients get sensor-master-app-testing --state` doesn’t return the state that the client request is currently in, however making a `curl` call to the TTN Authorize endpoint ([https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network/oauth/authorize](https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network/oauth/authorize)) redirects back with the following error:

```auto
?error=invalid_client&error_description=error%3Apkg%2Foauth%3Aclient_not_approved+%28OAuth+client+was+not+approved%29

```

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I also have a problem with OAuth Client approval.  
I have created it on 2021-06-30T16:15:17 ( **two days ago** ).  
But, when I execute a command `ttn-lw-cli clients list --all` I get a response ( **“state\_description”: “admin approval required”** )

```auto
[{
  "ids": {
    "client_id": "tektelic-ttn-integration-refresh"
  },
  "created_at": "2021-06-30T16:15:17.653Z",
  "updated_at": "2021-06-30T16:15:17.653Z",
  "description": "Oauth client for integration Tektelic LeapX application with TTN",
  "redirect_uris": [
    "***"
  ],
  "state_description": "admin approval required",
  "grants": [
    "GRANT_AUTHORIZATION_CODE",
    "GRANT_REFRESH_TOKEN"
  ],
  "rights": [
    "RIGHT_APPLICATION_ALL",
    "RIGHT_GATEWAY_ALL"
  ]
}
]

```
