My development account for Spotify has been enabled and I am trying to walk through their simple tutorial app (http://developer.spotify.com/download/spotify-apps-api/tutorial/). I should note here that I am on a Win 7 workstation.
When I try to load the local app by typing ‘spotify:app:Tutorial’ in the search field I get the following msg/error: “Sorry, I could find this app. metadatafailed URI: spotify:app:Tutorial Error: appNotFound.”
I have tried adding the app files to the following directories and still getting the error:
- C:\Users\Me\Documents\Spotify\Tutorial (note this dir did not exist I created it)
- C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Spotify
- C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Spotify\Users\me-user
- C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Spotify
- C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Users\me-user
So where exactly are you suppose to add the files so that Spotify will load local apps?
Thanks!
Your first guess is correct (C:\Users\Me\Documents\Spotify\Tutorial). However you need to be running the latest preview release (https://www.spotify.com/uk/download/previews/). And on my PC I had to completely un-install and reinstall the application before the developer options became enabled.
