Hi
I’ve been trying to connect HA to my premium spotify account, but seem to have hit a wall since Spotify have blocked creation of new apps in the developer dashboard - the create app button is greyed out and it says “New integrations are currently on hold …”.
Spotify community has this thread full of unhappy customers:
Their “solution” is to confirm that it’s broken and functionality is “on hold”.
As far as I can see, this is essential for all Spotify integrations - the core one and the custom Spotifyplus one from @thlucas.
Anyone else struggling with this or have a solution/workaround?

Unfortunately, there is no workaround since they secure their API via OAuth. I have a SpotifyPlus integration issue created for notes on this, but nothing new to report as of mid-December.
Spotify has had their Developer App Portal disabled for creation of new Apps since late-December. Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about that, as it is completely owned and maintained by Spotify.
However, if you already have a Spotify Developer App created for the HA Spotify integration, then you can use it for SpotifyPlus - the only caveat is that you must remove the HA Spotify Integration and App Credential, and create another App Credential (using same client id and secret) for SpotifyPlus.
If you don’t have a Spotify Developer App, then there is nothing I can do until Spotify re-enables their process.
I opened an issue on the Spotify Developer Forum for this problem, but Spotify has failed to respond in a meaningful way. They have also marked my issue as “resolved”, even though it is definitely NOT resolved.
