      Google Pixel3 a/UT 20.04 (OTA 5) After the update to OTA 5, the app no longer works (LogIn failed)! After several unsuccessful attempts, Spotify blocked my account for "suspicious activities"! A rather wild mail exchange with the support team followed. Experience: "Only Spotify-owned apps are accepted"! And I should never trust 'foreign' apps with my access data. After a (!) Login attempt with the Morph browser I could see my playlist but did not play. Promptly, the account was saved again! The support is also contacted again. Experience: Running again and the statement: "Futtify is not officially supported!" The app ran on my Volla-Phone and on the Pixel3a for months without any problems! Not anymore! Too bad.

        @Tilo_HH I have the same phone but I use deezer via Waydroid. The UT-Deezer app is too unstable for me.
        Streaming services are very closed, the music's industry more than it. Maybe Spotify can be used via Waydroid.
        That is, an android simulated on UT that allows you to install F-Droid (via the apk on the official f-droid site) then Aurora Store (via F-Droid) then Spotify (via Aurora Store).
        Aurora Store enables you to use Google Play Store.
        F-droid is an open-source application store.
        You can also boycott companies that don't let you use them via open-source applications. However, they don't really care, given the small market share we represent. It's then possible to look for alternatives for listening to music. Spotify/Deezer & co are not The Music.

        I'm sorry I can't help you more than to suggest you use the official app via Waydroid or listen to music other than via streaming services.

          I know that this answer does not help in your current situation, but there is hope for that 😄 Yes, spotify does not support third-party-applications, but it's allowed to have and develop them. There is an API that can be used.
          There is an example on https://developer.spotify.com that acually works in Morph browser which is awesome. I think that it's possible to develop a new spotify client which uses the official Web API.
          Of course, you need a premium account to use that.
          If I'll find time the next days/weeks, I will try to implement that.

            @Schlicki2808 futify is using this api, but seems to use deprecated api calls

            instead of creating another alternative client, i belive that more efficient would be to put already done frontend + backend stack into click package, In this way is already futify working, there is backend in golang that reads spotify stream and "forward it" on localhost:8765/song?id stream that is feeded to phone (which is probably the issue why futify does not show album/title/author in media navigator)

            this is backend side
            https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd

            this is one of the clients
