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:
So where exactly are you suppose to add the files so that Spotify will load local apps?
Thanks!
When Spotify is downloaded from spotify.com/download and installed, it will land in %appdata%. When Spotify is installed via Microsoft Store though, it gets called a Windows App and thereby lies in a hidden WindowsApps folder under Program Files.
Open your Spotify app for desktop. On your home page, click Settings > Show Advanced Settings. Under Offline storage location, click Change Locations and select your preferred Spotify cache folder.
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.
Not sure whether it helps in your case, but try naming the folder tutorial with lowercase t. See Spotify Tutorial example app is blank
