My Question or Issue

Hello all,

So got a new phone today to replace my Nokia 8 Sirocco, which was running Android pie, with a OnePlus 6t running Android Pie. 

I can't for the love of me get Android auto to recognise Spotify as a music player. I've ensured that the "broadcast to other applications" setting is enabled. I've also enabled developer mode but seems they've removed the generic "install from unknown sources" and when I look at the new section for granting this permission at an app level it does not show Spotify of Android auto so nothing to change there.

Can anyone help? I drive a lot and having Spotify work with Android Auto is a big requirement for me.

Cheers in advance

Then select developer settings:

Then from the list tick "unknown sources":
