My Question or Issue

Recently, Spotify App Control for Android (both 0.7.2 and 0.8.0) has stopped returning Browse results to my client app. It seems that Spotify is returning some class descriptors that aren't able to be deserialized:

com.spotify.protocol.client.error.RemoteClientException: "java.lang.ClassCastException"
at com.spotify.protocol.client.RemoteWampClient.getRemoteClientException(RemoteWampClient.java:130)

It seems other browse locations work, such as "com.spotify.your-library" and "com.spotify.browse". Can someone look into why Recommended Items is no longer working?

It appears that the Spotify update from 8.9.50.552 to 8.9.52.552 fixed the issue.
