See the authorization window directly in the Spotify application

[alpistos]

We are developing a mobile application but since Web API is much easier to use and has many examples, we plan to proceed via Web API.

Everything is going great, granting permission to the application, getting tokens, using tokens etc. However, when we send the permission link to the application, instead of it appearing directly in the Spotify application, it appears as a normal web page in the default browser.

I have seen a few applications that can authorize directly within the Spotify application.
Is it necessary to use Mobile APIs for this or can we continue using Web API and see the Authorize "Spotify Developer Application" window directly within the Spotify application with a special deeplink?

Hi alpistos,

Can you please name those apps and if it's on iOS or Android. To my knowledge it is not possible. Only in an external browser or with webview.

Hey, 

You can see it at link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.makro_music.app

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/makromusic-dating-for-spotify/id1498773489

There is a demo video at attachment.

I believe this is something you use iOS or Android SDKs for. In Web API you do it in a browser window / web view.

Yep, it looks that way...
