My Question or Issue

I've been trying to use the Getting Started with Android SDK article from Spotify to set up Remote Playback in my React Native Android App. I am currently using it on Android Emulator.

However, I'm not able to authenticate my app with the app-remote. I followed the code in this link. I put this in my MainActivity.java of my React app:

protected void onStart() { ConnectionParams connectionParams = new ConnectionParams.Builder(CLIENT_ID) .setRedirectUri(REDIRECT_URI) .showAuthView(true) .build(); SpotifyAppRemote.connect(this, connectionParams, new Connector.ConnectionListener() { @Override public void onConnected(SpotifyAppRemote spotifyAppRemote) { mSpotifyAppRemote = spotifyAppRemote; Log.d("MainActivity", "Connected! Yay!"); // Now you can start interacting with App Remote connected(); } @Override public void onFailure(Throwable throwable) { Log.e("MainActivity", throwable.getMessage(), throwable); // Something went wrong when attempting to connect! Handle errors here } });

But when I open my app, nothing appears and in my logs I keep getting this error:

{"message":"Explicit user authorization is required to use Spotify. The user has to complete the auth-flow to allow the app to use Spotify on their behalf"}

I have Spotify installed on the emulator and am logged-in on that. I am also using the Web API SDK in other parts of the React project. so I added the scope 'app-remote-control' to the part where I request authentication and access for the Web API SDK. When I did that, I saw a pop-up screen that asked me to agree to the new scopes, but the app-remote still displayed the same message.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
