I have used Spotify APIs and use the SpotifyAudioPlayback framework to play the tracks all are working fine 5-6 days ago but recently I face an issue with the track player

it gives me an error for Premium Account required but my account is already premium.

If any way of solving this issue please let me know.

You are using the deprecated and now discontinued Mobile Streaming SDK for iOS.

You now need to use the App Remote SDK.

Here is an iOS SDK Quick Start guide that can help you to implement this new SDK.

It's never going to work again. According to this article, they already urged you to work with the new SDKs going forward in 2018. Also, they did shut down the old Spotify mobile streaming SDKs in 2019, as you can read here.

All developper who still used or began to use that SDKs after those days, took a great risk that their app(s) may not work in the future.

Agreed, I was one of those devs and I'm still a bit mad but I was fully aware of the risk taken.

In the end it's just a shame because the new SDKs don't provide any functionalities other than the basic playback.
