I use a non-Facebook login on Spotify and the app crashes right there.

How is this even possible, even less acceptable from Spotify point of view?

[KuiN]

It's not acceptable.

None of the apps broken on my phone require Facebook features for core functionality. Downtime happens, but downtime due to your non-essential & user-hostile ads/tracking/social SDK? These companies deserve every single cent of lost revenue.

If the last time this happens is anything to go by, a lot of apps have the FBSDK to facilitate their "Log In with Facebook" functionality. The issue is that you have to include a monolithic SDK that initialises itself without your control just for simple functionality like that.

IMO, blame Facebook.

[swagonomixxx]

Blame both of them. I'm done with Spotify after this. I'm heading over to Apple Music.

It's a total joke that an app would crash on startup because of this idiocy.

[zuppy]

the sdk initialises itself just by being included. this is why the crash happens on startup. even if you only use it for login, it will still crash.

This should hopefully be the end of facebook integration in Spotify

Temporary workaround for people who need Spotify as badly as they need oxygen (Eg: me, and my kids)...

Turn airplane mode on, open Spotify, go to Settings > Playback, set it to Offline, then turn airplane mode off.

At least now you can listen to cached music and browse the web again.

Longer term, install a Pi-Hole on your home network and block all Facebook owned domains, because they’re a scourge on humanity and your life will be much better void of their infection.

even my bank app won’t open (Nubank)

What the hell does Nubank need the Facebook SDK for?
