apps-tutorial's Introduction

Closure of Spotify Apps Submissions
Spotify closed the submission process for new apps on the 24th of March 2014. You can still develop apps using this tutorial, but your app will not be released through the App Finder and will thus not be accessible to other users. Please read the announcement on our Developer News site for more information.
