Country: USA

Device: Samsung Galaxy S10

Operating System: Android 9

Spotify doesn't show up in the Android Auto Menu. 

This symptom was covered in another thread from a few years ago but it seems something else is going on. 

• Have uninstalled both Spotify and Android Auto and reinstalled both.
• Have restarted phone.
• Have checked "Device Broadcast Status" in Spotify Settings.

I'm also having this issue after restoring my Note 9. if I play Spotify before I plug it in Spotify continues to play through my car but I have no control over it.

I was on chat with Spotify and they ask you to go through the usual things, like clear the cache, etc.  Nothing worked, and after an hour plus they now acknowledge it's a bug in their app affecting Android 9.

It's very disappointing, it's like they don't test AA at all.  This would be the very first thing they'd see.

1. Launch the Android Auto app.  
2. Tap the top left menu and select About.
3. Tap About Android Auto 10 times to unlock Developer Mode. Select top right menu and check if there's Developer settings. 
4. Select Developer settings and scroll down to Unknown sources

try this as it worked for me, ensure you close/force close all apps and re open it.

This worked for me. I'm using a Galaxy S10.

Thank you so much! I nearly returned my S10 and got an iPhone just for the CarPlay feature. (Dumb, I know, but I drive a ton!) :)

I do not see the Developer settings in mine. Am I missing something? Galaxy S9+ is my phone.
