Spotify still hasn’t added AirPlay 2 support to its iOS app, but despite the delay, it’s still working on making it a reality, and some doubts about AirPlay 2 inclusion were cast when a music streaming service representative wrote on community forums: This idea is in-house, and while we’re working to support AirPlay 2 properly, we’ve decided to shut it down for the time being.
According to the Arab portal for technical news, the actor blamed the compatibility issues of the audio driver, and because of that he said: It looks like this is a bigger project that we won’t be able to complete in the foreseeable future.
The music streaming service claims this is a bug. She said AirPlay 2 support is still on.
A post on one of our community pages contained incomplete information about our plans for AirPlay2, we’re working to support AirPlay 2 and want to make that a reality.
Apple introduced AirPlay 2 three years ago – in May 2018 – as part of iOS 11.4, with several improvements to the original AirPlay wireless audio protocol, including multi-room audio, Siri voice control, and improved caching.
The app can support AirPlay 2 by implementing the AVFoundation APIs, with a four-step process described via Apple’s developer website.
The company also enabled support for third-party music services via HomePod and HomePod mini last year.
In March of 2019, Spotify filed a complaint with the European Commission accusing Apple of blocking it and other Apple competitors from accessing the likes of Siri, HomePod and Apple Watch.
The platform still doesn’t offer native support for HomePod speakers, although you can play music from the app through Siri and download Spotify tracks via your Apple Watch.
You can connect the streaming service to your smart TVs and speakers via AirPlay or Spotify Connect.
Platform users will not be able to officially take advantage of AirPlay 2 capabilities such as latency reduction, multi-room audio and Siri control anytime soon.
However, since AirPlay is integrated with iOS, it should still work with any audio app as long as you use the playback controls at the operating system level, rather than the Spotify app.
