Cannot open or update Spotify Mac App

Cannot open or update Spotify Mac App

Plan

Premium

Device

Macbook Pro Retina Early 2015

Operating System

MacOS 11.7.10 

Desktop App Version

1.2.71.421

 

Hi All,

 

According to today, Sept 26th, 2025 - the desktop app supports only MacOS 12 and up. I use 11.7.10. Alongside this - all of a sudden I'm unable to open the app. So it's not only that I cannot update to a newer version, I can't even fix the app constantly crashing by re-installing an older version that is no where to be found.

 

All of a sudden - no Spotify.

 

Any possible workarounds despite the aforementioned?  

 

*when clicking on “find installers for older versions” - it directs me a to regular installation page of the most recent version.

Hey @EchoBloom, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

You can view the current supported versions for the Spotify app here. Since your version has been discontinued, you’re still able to use the Web Player, however, there isn’t an official way to revert to a previous version of an app, or to load an app if it’s not officially supported by Spotify. 

 

I hope this helps.
