Operating System

App Version 8.5.2.666

iOS 12.2

My Question or Issue:

I am connecting Spotify to Connected Drive on my 2015 M4 and with the latest app /and the upgrade to iOS 12.2 a few issues have been introduced. 

1) Metadata (eg song title, album title, artist, position in the song) stops populating after a while. It is still possible, for example, to skip forward or backwards but metadata in both the HUD and the headunit does not update any more.

2) The "browse playlist/library" and "search" functionality are not working any more (I think this actually was unrelated to an app update but related to the upgrade to 12.2).
