Maxlisui / lyrics_app

App which displays lyrics of currently playing song on Spotify

Lyris App

Small Android and IOS App which lets you display the lyrics of the currently playing song in spotify.

Everything is WIP 🚧

Development

Common

1. Head over to Spotify's Developer Dashboard and create a new App.

Android

2. Create a new Android Package with com.maxlisui.lyrics_app as package name and your fingerprint. Your development fingerprint can be accessed using

# Bash
$ keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -list -v | grep SHA1

# Windows Powershell
$ keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore %HOMEPATH%\.android\debug.keystore -list -v | grep SHA1

IOS

2. Insert maxlisui.lyrics-app as Bundle ID.

Common

3. Think of a redirect URI. This should be unique. E.g. my-cool-spotify-app://auth

4. Head over to Genius and create a new App. Also create a new client access token.

Android

5. Now you should have a few keys, we don't need all of them. Create a new file in res/values. I suggest nameing it res.xml, so it gets ignored by git. The file should look something like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="spotify_client_id">{{spotify client id}}</string>
    <integer name="requestCode">{{random int -> does not matter}}</integer>
    <string name="spotify_redirect_uri">{{redirect uri}}</string>
    <string name="genius_client_access_token">{{ genius client access token }}</string>
</resources>

• spotify_client_id: Created in step 1
• spotify_redirect_uri: Created in step 3
• spotify_redirect_uri: Created in step 4

IOS

5. Now you should have a few keys, we don't need all of them. Open Constants.swift and add your keys. The file should look something like this.

struct Constants {
    static var spotifyBaseUrl: String = "https://api.spotify.com/v1/"
    static var spotifyClientID: String = "{{spotify client id}}"
    static var spotifyClientSecret: String = "{{spotify client secret}}"
    static var spotifyRedirectURL: URL = URL.init(string: "{{redirect uri}}")!
    static var geniusAccessToken: String = "{{genius client access token}}"
    static var geniusBaseUrl: String = "https://api.genius.com/"
}

• spotifyClientID: Created in step 1
• spotifyClientSecret: Created in step 1
• spotifyRedirectURL: Created in step 3
• geniusAccessToken: Created in step 4
