Spotify does not work in iOS 8 Beta 3!

[Karlo]

I just found out that Spotify does not work on iOS 8 Beta 3. The app just closes automatically the moment you launch it. I never experienced this on iOS 8 Beta 2.

UPDATE: I've tried removing it then reinstalling the app as well as restarting my phone. It worked. Although the second time that I launched it, well, it's the same thing again. It closes automatically upon launching it.

This is not correct. Today, 22. Sept 2014, the same problem, known since weeks (!!!) IS still unsolved. Embarrassing to Spotify QC of s/w Department.

Nonsense

Update: your suggested fix of changing the country and then changing it back again worked like a charm. Thank you.

Hey guys!

@SpotifyCares on Twitter has suggested a work around that might solve the problem: 

"If Spotify is crashing at startup on iOS 8, try changing your phone's Settings > Language & Region to another country, then change back."

in my case the "wordkaround" does does not work.
What irony is this: Spotify does not care abot software for iPad - but my iPad2 works fine with all latest versions of ios8 and 1.7.1.7. But the iphone, where Spotifys focusses on crahses compelerely. Iwonder seriously about their quality control and software people.... fidle around with Ford cars etc but the basics are too much. Again, this crash with ios8 is known since moths since the first ios8 version was released for: software testing - funny, isn't it?

Hey guys. Staff here.

We think we've found a fix for this issue. As soon as we feel certain that we have fixed this issue, we will be submitting the new version to Apple.

Hello!

I just downloaded the IOS8 on my iPhone 5. Maybe a stupid decision! Now, I cannot launch Spotify Premium at all despite numerous amounts of attempts by reintstalling, turning the handset on and off and repeating this procedure. It just doesn't open.

I am quite distressed as I listen to my music to function propery. What can I do about this?!

Best wishes;

A

The only thing that has been working in my case was to change the iphone setting "time/day". This seems to "confuse" the loading procedure and allows somehow to start the program. It took me about 5 times tiral. 

After that I change to offline mode.

At first this seems to work but the second loading showed the trouble again. But overnight some self-healing happend. After that I changed back the setting time/day. Now it works fine with off-line mode only and I am sitting on the island hoping somebody picks me up with an updated-tested-approved version. I really wonder why it so difficult to eliminate this bug. 

Hey guys at Spotify, isn´t time now to give us an update on your troubleshooting progress?

Hey guys!

Version 1.8 of the Spotify iOS app has just been released. Please post back if you are still having problems

Thanks for your patience while the developers worked on an update.
