Spotify App Dead

Question

As others have posted, I'm having an issue with my Spotify app (in development) dying after the Spotify update. I can no longer access it as it throws a metadataFailed error. I've tried accessing using the new method "spotify:app:application-identifier-in-manifest" and it doesn't work. I've set both the BundleIdentifier and BundleVersion in the manifest.

Also, I've tried the app on several different computers with several different developer accounts.

Answer 1

I happened upon a similar issue today, and it was down to my manifest.json not parsing correctly.

Make sure you run your json file through a lint http://jsonlint.com/ before committing and debugging. Saved me a whole bunch of time yak shaving.

Answer 2

Just to be clear, you need to set the BundleIdentifier and BundleVersion keys, restart Spotify then load it with your identifier. So, if you set your BundleIdentifier to awesome-app, you'd load it with spotify:app:awesome-app.
