[iOS] Implement Native HomePod Support

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!

Just seeing the history here. Wow. Joe Rogan spreading conspiracies and then petty garbage like this?

5 year premium family subscriber here, enable this or I’m leaving. What petty trash Spotify. You are better than this. This is exactly why I trust companies like Apple over Spotify, because Spotify clearly has heavy handed petty vendettas.

Dear Spotify,

 

As you can tell, this is a very popular topic for many people. Ever since Apple opened up the ability for 3rd party developers to use HomePod devices it’s been requested that it be integrated.

 

The community is looking for an update after 2 years. Can we get one?

Ah Man, I just bought a HomePod mini and was sooo disappointed to realize that Spotify hasn’t added support yet! It’s hilarious that this is still in “new idea” status …

Is this a joke or what, at least provide an update what your plans are, Spotify.
