Interact with the Spotify Web API in Swift

This app uses the Spotify Connect Web API to show the currently playing track for a logged in user and give playback controls.

Requirements

• Spotify Premium
• A developer app from the Spotify for Developers Dashboard
• XCode 9
• Cocoapods

Authorization

This demo uses SpotifyLogin for authentication and authorization. This library is intended for prototyping purposes only and should not be used in production apps.

Getting Started

First, fork and clone this project to your machine.

In the Spotify Dashboard:

1. Register an app on the Spotify for Developers Dashboard.
2. In the settings of your app, enter your iOS app's bundle ID and redirect URI (ie. com.yourdomain.awesome-spotify-app://)

In the iOS App:

1. Run pod repo update and pod install in the Terminal.
2. In the AppDelegate, look for the call to SpotifyLogin.shared.configure(). Replace the placeholders with your client ID, secret, and redirect URI.

Challenges

1. Your top tracks are shown on the page. Show your top artists instead. (See showTop())
2. Add a pause button and a play button. The functions are already implemented in the SpotifyDataController. (See previous() and next())
3. Show the title and artist of the current track. (See updateCurrentlyPlaying())
4. The top tracks endpoint allows you to choose out of 3 different time ranges, short_term, medium_term (default), and long_term. Show your long term top tracks. (See getMyTop() in SpotifyDataController)
5. Use one of the other functions from SpotifyDataController to show data in your app.
6. Implement another endpoint from the Spotify API.
