I got an email saying the following but it struck me as strange that Spotify is blaming Apple for breaking their app with an OS update. Here’s what Spotify sent:<p>> Apple WatchOS 9 introduces a bug that will cause Spotify streaming on the Apple Watch to stop working. We encourage Spotify Apple Watch users to not install the WatchOS 9 update until Apple implements a fix. Users already affected can instead download their content to their Apple Watch and listen offline or stream from their phones.
When I got my Apple Watch I was really disappointed at Spotify for not having streaming, then I learned that Apple kept the APIs private and only Apple Music allowed streaming.<p>When finally Apple relased the feature for third parties, Spotify was really slow at implementing it. What should have been a couple months max took like a year or so...<p>I would really like to know who is responsible here.
You know, 20 years ago we would have blamed Apple for implimenting a breaking change on the OS-level. Nowadays we shake our fist at Spotify for not fixing bugs before they happen...
