My Question or Issue
Spotify on my mac unfortunately recently started crashing randomly (once per 1 minute), which makes the app completely unuseable. I've tried a complete reinstall (also removed all configs) but that doesn't help, unfortunately.
Upon further investigation I found every crash is accompanied by the following log in mac console:
I attached the full log here for your further inspection.
I look forward to your reply!

My Question or Issue
Spotify crashes with the following error after 30 seconds of start. Making it completely unusable on macOS!!!
I posted a thread with the same issue yesterday, why is it disappearing in the forum???
Okay, so i put it again here:

Please help fix this!
anyone?
uninstall spotify
I've discovered that if I start Spotify when it was previously in offline mode I get this error (Mac OSX 10.15.4 OS Catalina).
You can edit the preferences file and set app.force-offline-mode to false
File: /Users/<your username>/Library/Application\ Support/Spotify/prefs
app.force-offline-mode=false

This fixed the issue for me. I knew it was because I had put it in offline mode. I just couldn't figure out where the preferences were to edit. Thank you.
Seems like an easy bug they could fix.
