The Spotify mobile SDKs allow developers to create iOS and Android apps that interact with Spotify. We’re excited to announce that apps using our mobile SDKs can now connect to Spotify while a device is offline. This feature makes it possible for mobile apps to control playback and authenticate a Spotify user when they are without a network connection. Read on to learn more about how to implement offline authentication for your platform.

Last year, we announced that Spotify will move away from supporting our old streaming SDK in favor of a solution that enables both Spotify Free and Premium users to utilize playback controls in a third party context. We launched our new mobile SDKs in September 2018, and also took our iOS SDK out of beta.

We have released a new version of the iOS SDK, version 1.0.2, which you can find here.

On the 12th of June 2018, we announced upcoming changes to playlist URIs in our APIs. Due to technical issues, this change, originally scheduled for September 11th 2018, was rolled back.
