Spotify "Sorry, I could not find this application"

Question

As in the API documentation, I created ~/Spotify/myapp/index.html (on Mac), but when I spotify:app:myapp from the search bar in Spotify (the preview version that supports applications), I get "Sorry, I could not find this application. "

What am I missing (it should be everything for "Hello World" according to the docs, right? Can I debug this in order to better understand the problem?

Answer 1

It looks like you did not apply for the Spotify developer. Do you have a menu item "Development" and is it possible to right-click inside the specified applications?

If not, you need developers to activate Spotify. You can do this on your website . Your account may not be activated immediately.

I just made a video explaining how to solve this.

Basically you need to go to Spotify.app -> Content -> Resources -> cef_views; and drop your things there.

Something else to keep in mind! I tried to create my application with an underscore in the name, and for some reason it choked the application. As soon as I deleted the underscore and saved it with letters, it worked fine. shrug

So, according to the documents that you posted yourself, you need to name your application store in the current spotifys form.

Your application will appear in the sidebar in future builds. For now, please name your application folder “appstore” so that it appears in the sidebar. Please name your application accordingly in the manifest, and this very name will appear in the sidebar.

What I was mistaken is that in the Spotify folder you have to create the Tutorial folder, in my case all the files were on Spotify, and not in the tutorial.
