Authentication Service Unavailable

esauerbo — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 20:28:25 GMT

Android Studio 2022

Kotlin

Pixel 4 API 33 Emulator

Following the Getting Started tutorial to set up Spotify SDK in my Kotlin app. I set up authentication the preferred way according to the tutorial, using the Spotify client.

If I run the app on the emulator without the Spotify app installed, the authentication window pops up and everything works until I get to the connection step, where I get a "Could not find Spotify App" error (which makes sense, because the app isn't installed.)

But when I install the Spotify app on the emulator and run my application, the auth flow doesn't work anymore. I click my app's login button which redirects to Spotify login and I just get the error "Authentication Service Unavailable". I know this isn't network related because it just worked before the Spotify app was installed and the emulator is definitely connected.

If anyone has seen this before and found a workaround please let me know!! There is no more detail in the error message so I have no idea what to do anymore.

Adding the android package and SHA1 fingerprint to the developer dashboard solved this.

Where in the dashboard is there a place to add SHA1 fingerprint?

You can find it at the Dashboard of your app, by clicking on Settings at the top, and then clicking Edit at the bottom.
