[iOS] Implement Native HomePod Support

[robotoman22]

Details

Just this week at WWDC (June 22, 2020), Apple announced support for third party music services on the HomePod.  I'm requesting that Spotify implement native support for the HomePod such that one or even multiple HomePods will appear in the "Connect to a device" menu on any Apple device WITHOUT having to connect through Airplay.  This will also allow users to ask Siri to play songs from Spotify on their HomePod(s). 

Apple is opening up the HomePod, and I know there are many other HomePod users that would love to have native Spotify support on their speaker.

Please upvote this idea to garner attention for it.  Thank you Spotify and the Spotify community.  Let's get this implemented so it's ready for general iOS 14 release this September!

Sadly it’s a deliberate policy decision and not linked to any kind of technological barrier. Only choice is for us to vote with our £££ and leave.

Any update on this, Spotify? (hahaha prolly not)

Like you, I also really want this integration.

Why don't we join forces and once a day send a simple tweet https://twitter.com/eldsjal

" @eldsjal HomePod?"

Every single day, 1x until he gets tired

I'm sure they'll just use the "secret tools" Twitter has for companies to
combat harassment. They're not going to do this, ever. Maybe once they
create every possible element/service to compete directly with Apple. That
appears to be their prime directive anymore.

Such a frustrating issue as my home pod used to play music and today it stopped.  I wish I could get past this.

Spotify, get your act together. This is a simple feature many of us are looking for.

I am a Swede normally proud of Spotify, but in a case like this Spotify is embarrassing. Time to actually deliver. Strongly considering taking my $$ and move to Apple.
