Spotify apps / home directory location (Windows local development)?

Question

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/tutoria

Answer 1

I had the same problem: Spotify could not find my app directory even though the proper folder had been created in my Documents folder.

I Fixed it by running Spotify as an Administrator.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

I can't leave a comment, but I was having the same issues and had to do a combination of what Niklas and akakjs did. I had to completely uninstall the spotify app, download/install the preview version, create a Spotify directory in My Documents, then create the folder Tutorial. Then, in the Spotify search bar I had to type "spotify:app:tutorial" with the lowercase t. I hope this helps!

Answer 4

Not sure whether it helps in your case, but try naming the folder tutorial with lowercase t. See Spotify Tutorial example app is blank

Answer 5

Had the exact same problem. I had to run Spotify as administrator, worked right away.

And the path i used were: C:\Users\me\Documents\Spotify
