Not injecting in 1.0.87.491.ge2a121fc and above

[sidpagariya]

The spotify+ menu doesn't seem to show up in version 1.0.87.491.ge2a121fc of Spotify now...

[sidpagariya]

It now works in 1.0.86.337.ga8d5cef9... Yes, I did downgrade for now, but @w0lfschild do you mind checking for 1.0.87.491.ge2a121fc? Thanks!

[Machaan]

I'm having the same issue as @sidpagariya on both of the two newest updates: 1.0.87.491.ge2a121fc and 1.0.88.353.g15c26ea1. It works great again on 1.0.86.337 though after downgrading just like sidpagariya stated. I can't seem to find the change logs.

• What version of macOS are you on?
• Do you have SIP off?

[sidpagariya]

• I'm on macOS 10.14 (18A371a), Developer Beta 8
• I do indeed have SIP off and I upgraded Spotify, after which it stopped working...

[Fofer]

I'm on MacOS 10.13.6. Spotfiy+ was working for me fine, until Spotify updated to 1.0.87.491 just now, and now Spotify+ isn't working for me anymore.

I'm a paid Spotify user, but appreciate the Dock badging feature that Spotify+ had been granting me.

Interesting it's working fine for me on the latest version 1.0.88.353.g15c26ea1 on macOS 10.14 (18A371a).

[w0lfschild]

What version of spotify+ are you all using? I realized I had version 0.6.0 on my personal mySIMBL repo but 0.6.3 is the most current version.

[Machaan]

I'm using 0.6.0-- I hadn't realized there was an update for it. I'll try it out right now and report back as soon as I can

[Machaan]

Yeah, it still isn't working for me after I updated to 0.6.3 via mySIMBL's update section and I updated Spotify to 1.0.88.353.g15c26ea1. Maybe I need to delete it and redownload spotifyPlus manually or restart my Macbook Pro for it to take effect?

[Machaan]

I was able to get it to work-- What I did was the following: I uninstalled/ deleted Spotify and make sure no application leftovers were still there. Then I removed spotifyPlus.bundle from mySIMBL and closed out of mySIMBL. Next, I downloaded the latest Spotify installer and installed Spotify. I quit Spotify, and then opened mySIMBL. From the Discover tab, I installed spotifyPlus, then reopened Spotify, and it worked! For some reason, whenever I would update from 0.6.0 to 0.6.3 within mySIMBL without first removing/deleting the 0.6.0 bundle, it wouldn't work in Spotify.

[sidpagariya]

Woah @w0lfschild weird that mySIMBL didn't show updates for the 0.6.3 package and even after reinstalling from scratch, it still installed 0.6.0 instead of 0.6.3...

Update: it finally shows up after multiple tries of opening and closing with the occasional refresh button hit

[sidpagariya]

@Shapsuo I'll give that a try now!

[sidpagariya]

Lol Spotify doesn't even show me a 1.0.88 version for updates haha, even after disabling blocks in /etc/hosts 😆

[Machaan]

@sidpagariya I uninstalled Spotify using AppDelete (making sure to not remove any files I still needed). I just downloaded the 1.0.88 .dmg file from the Spotify website and installed it from there.

[sidpagariya]

Thanks @Shapsuo I did try that once before the spotifyPlus stopped working but I'll try it again lol

[Fofer]

I uninstalled Spotify and SpotifyPlus completely. I downloaded and installed Spotify, and am now running 1.0.88.353.g15c26ea1. I then also installed SpotifyPlus 0.6.3. I rebooted my Mac and launched Spotify, logged in and customized my settings.

However, I'm still not seeing the SpotifyPlus menu or getting any of its features. I am a paid Spotify user, if that matters here. I am running the most current macOS official release, 10.13.6. Is there anything else I should be trying?

[sidpagariya]

I did do the same things as @Shapsuo, and still no luck on 1.0.88.353.g15c26ea1 with multiple application and plugin uninstallations and reinstallations...

[Machaan]

Hey @sidpagariya @w0lfschild -- I restarted my computer and now it stopped working, and I can't seem to get it to work again. =/ Sorry... I thought I had a method that worked for some reason >.<

[Machaan]

I've spent quite a bit of time testing out different methods to see if I could get it to work again with 0.6.3 for 1.0.88.353.g15c26ea1, but to no avail :( mySIMBL version is 0.7.1, and this is my System Info tab:

Here is a screenshot of my Manage Tab with spotifyPlus showing:

I'm on High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65).

Please let me know if you need any other information to help solve this. Thanks!

[w0lfschild]

@Machaan Looks like you have System Integrity Protection on in your photo.

Assuming you're on 10.14 (more injection security) maybe that's the issue?

[Machaan]

@w0lfschild Ahh thanks! I didn't notice that it turned back on. But that isn't it sadly...

I'm on 10.13.6 (17G65) -- High Sierra (Not Mojave). I tried doing a clean install of spotifyPlus after removing it, but that didn't make a difference with Spotify 1.0.88.353.g15c26ea1.

[sidpagariya]

I hope this is what we need to expect for the requirements of mySIMBL:

I have been blocking updates for Spotify and downgraded to 1.0.80 using the DMG on Spotify's website... and spotifyPlus is temporarily working...

[Fofer]

How exactly do you block updates for Spotify?

[sidpagariya]

I chmod the app so it can't be replaced even by the update mechanism...

[w0lfschild]

Interesting maybe you're in some A/B testing by spotify? Do other plugins load for you all?

[Machaan]

Nothing is working with the latest version of Spotify for me. Not even F-Script shows up in the menubar:

Latest Version:

Older Version:

[Machaan]

@sidpagariya What were the exact chmod commands that you used? I used an old script I had saved from before I discovered @w0lfschild 's spotifyPlus/mySIMBL and denied a couple of connections with Little Snitch:

#This script prevents Spotify from Autoupdating on OS X (tested on Yosemite)
#This script must be run as root:
#sudo sh donotupdatespotify.sh
FILE="/tmp/out.$$"
if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
echo "This script must be run as root"
echo "-------------------------------------------"
echo "This is what you should type into terminal:"
echo "sudo sh Page on donotupdatespotify.sh"
exit 1
fi

filepath1="/Users/$SUDO_USER/Library/Application
Support/Spotify/Spotify_new.archive"

filepath2="/Users/$SUDO_USER/Library/Application
Support/Spotify/Spotify_new.archive.sig"
-f "$filepath1" && rm -f "$filepath1"
-f "$filepath2" && rm -f "$filepath2"
touch "$filepath1"
touch "$filepath2"
chflags uchg "$filepath1" # Lock file in which the downloaded update
is stored, thus preventing an update
chflags uchg "$filepath2"
echo "---------------------------------------"
echo "| Spotify will no longer be updated |"
echo "---------------------------------------"

Was it the same thing as this: https://gist.github.com/aleksandrs-ledovskis/0b149b996c7a1ebc16126c60a79433ec ? Also, btw I noticed we are from the same state :)

[sidpagariya]

@Machaan basically that script but the update mechanism I thought was changed so I had to do stuff with locking (the chflags command with the uchg flag) the /Applications/Spotify.app/ and ~/Library/Application\ Support/Spotify/PersistentCache/Update/ and I locked the files inside it... The only annoying thing is that Spotify asks my password when I open it up lol, but it's all good haha

[anonymouz4]

Doesn't work for me either on 10.13.6 and newest Spotify

[anonymouz4]

Found a temporary fix: Download Version 1.0.86 DMG: from here for example

Block this Address (I prefer using Vallum): beta.spotify.map.fastly.net (151.101.120.246) - Port 443

Open the Downloaded DMG and replace the existing Spotify with the Dowloaded. It will still say new Verion available but won't be able to download

This does indeed work.

I'm going to assume methods have changed and they differ from what is currently being used in the header. Probably need to dump new headers so we know what to change.

[Fofer]

It’s worthwhile to read Spotify’s new terms of service:

Spotify will soon ban accounts that use ad blockers https://www.cultofmac.com/605788/spotify-ban-accounts-ad-blockers/

[anonymouz4]

@Fofer Trust me, there is always a way to bypass things like this

[w0lfschild]

I can get this to load with both SIP and AMFI off using MacForge.

macOS - 10.15 Spotify - 1.1.10.540.gfcf0430f

Problem is that if you're using this for the complete ad block, that was just altering the hosts file which no longer works.

If you like this tweak for the custom icon or the auto muting of ads that will still work.
