Anytime volume is adjusted in beta 3, the app crashes immediately. Works fine up until then.
Added note by MattSuda:
Also -- the ability to re-arrange tracks (added in version 0.7.1) is not working in IOS 7 beta 3. When in "edit mode" the playlist view is bugged.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey, Just Found a workaround:
1 install spotify for ios 4
2 Login
3 install normal spotify
4 try to login (it redirects to the Old app)
5 delete spotify for ios 4
6 Login the new one
7 have fun
Works on iphone 5.
Is this still working for you days later?
Easiest fix so far:
Open Music App - Play part of a song
Open Spotify App - Play song (to gauge volume)
If you want to adjust volume for iPhone without crashing Spotify - switch back to the music App and play the song and adjust down or up.
Switch back to the Spotify app and play a song, it should fade in at the new volume level 🙂
Same problem here... i also tried it with the headphone remote but it also crashes there 😞
All,
From a software engineer's perspective, here's my take after first replying with this issue on Page 2.
-Spotify is directly calling the iOS volume control, not using their own (like Pandora, which I think is an ugly way to do it).
-It worked fine in Beta 2.
-Other music services, such as Slacker, don't have this issue on Beta 3 even though they too are calling the native volume controls (they do have other issues though, so this isn't a plug for them or any other service).
With that, the API calls must have changed from Beta 2 to Beta 3, and the way that Spotify is calling it or interracting with it is too granular. This still may be an iOS issue rather than a Spotify issue, but in either case, Spotify and I'm sure Apple is aware of the issue.
Here's to hoping my email doesn't continue to be plagued with redundant notifications 🙂
Hi, and welcome to the community!
Being another iOS 7 user, I can confirm the volume change crash bug. Spotify 0.7.1 already crashes on startup, but there is no fix for the similar bug on iOS 7.
I will escalate this issue to the staff for you, so hopefully (despite the fact iOS 7 is in beta) the devs might be able to look into fixing it.
Anthony 🙂
Merging another thread with this one
i got the same problem here.... its been a terrible experience for me. now i dont even use spotify on my iphone to listen to music, using itunes radio instead.
Guys, HOW IS THIS NOT FIXED YET? Seriously... it's been weeks now.
Not only does the app crash -every single time- the volume is adjusted in any way (be it from within the app itself, device hardware buttons, lock screen, or control center), but it also buys the farm on 70% of attempts to interact with YOUR OWN stupid "now playing" bar when playing through another device (either via BT or USB).
I understand that supporting a beta environment and its supporting test community can not be priority one. But this is such a ridiculously gigantic bug that, made obvious by its enormity, almost has to be caused by a VERY high-level function conflict. It can't possibly be that difficult to patch. And seeing that it is currently ruining the usability of the app for some of your premium subscribers, I think it's time for you to deal with it.
If anyone wants a quick fix - I have found that when you find a song you want to play if you click the three dots on the right of it and swipe to the right to where it says go to album and then click it - then play the song from there and you can change the volume.
My fix was to remove Spotify 0.7.1 from both iPhone and iTunes, fetch 0.6.4 from backup, add that to iTunes and then Sync.
0.6.4 works like a charm on iOS7 Beta3.
Then just remember to disable background updating of Apps on the phone. 🙂
