Inconsistent artist names between Spotify APP and SDK callback

[carbit_carbit]

When playing the song Golden, the artist names displayed on the App are: HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, etc. However, the artist name obtained through the Spotify API method: 

- (void)playerStateDidChange:(id<SPTAppRemotePlayerState>)playerState;

 is only: HUNTR/X.

The version of the Spotify SDK I am using is: 3.0.0, and the iOS device model is: iPhone17,2.

I hope we can communicate here to find the cause of the problem, or I would appreciate some information about how I can proceed or who I can talk to to get this resolved. Thanks!

Hello! Welcome to the Spotify Community.

The playerStateDidChange method returns only the track's main artist by design, to keep the response fast and streamlined.

To get the full list of all artists (such as "HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA"), you need to follow these steps:

1. In playerState, get the track's URI (playerState.track.uri).

2. Extract the track's ID from this URI.

3. Use this ID to make a call to the Spotify Web API at the /v1/tracks/{id} endpoint.

4. The response from this API will contain an artists array with the full list of all artists, which you can then display in your app.

Keep me updated if you still need help!
