[niehusst]

Issue found on 10/29/2020

SDK Version:

spotify-app-remote-release-0.7.0.aar spotify-auth-release-1.2.3.aar

OS Version:

7.1.1 Nexus nextbook tablet Model: NX16A10132SPS

Scope(s):

? not sure what you mean by Scope in this context (sorry)

Steps to reproduce:

0. register my app in the Spotify console
1. have the Spotify App installed
2. be logged into Spotify app (free/premium shouldn't matter)
3. Trigger authentication against Spotify using Auth SDK

val request = AuthenticationRequest.Builder(
    CLIENT_ID,
    AuthenticationResponse.Type.TOKEN,
    REDIRECT_URI
)
        .setScopes(arrayOf("streaming", "playlist-read", "app-remote-control"))
        .build()
AuthenticationClient.openLoginActivity(handlerActivity, REQUEST_CODE, request)

Expected behavior:

We are successfully authenticated and get a token back.

Actual behavior:

Spotify crashes with the following juicy error:

As a result of Spotify failing to connect to my app, the response handler gets back AuthenticationResponse.Type.EMPTY and no other useful information. This same code works on my GalaxyS7 running Android O (8), and Aoson tablet running Android M (6). I guess I'm just wondering if you might have any idea as to why a foreground service would fail to bind and if there's anything I can about this?

If you think a larger view of the code would be useful, the project I'm working on is also open-source, so you can check out the rest of the code at https://github.com/niehusst/partyq/blob/main/app/src/main/java/com/niehusst/partyq/services/SpotifyAuthenticator.kt
