I've been developing a Spotify app for a while but a new version came out that doesn't allow for app development (can't find the local app anymore).
I reverted back to the older build that used to be available on the Previews section of Spotify but every time I restart Spotify it re-installs the latest version.
Is there a way to either prevent the auto update or get a newer build that one can develop on?
The bundle loading logic changed with Spotify 0.8.3. Just search for the Spotify tag on Stack Overflow and you'll find many, many duplicates of your question.
This one has the answer you're looking for: Spotify apps dead after update?

I am confused about the following two Microsoft Azure libraries:
azure-mobile-apps-js-client
cordova-plugin-ms-azure-mobile-apps
Does anybody know which one to use when? Or what are the advantages of one over other?
From their names, it appears that the "azure-mobile-apps-js-client" will not contain cordova features while "cordova-plugin-ms-azure-mobile-apps" does. Is that the only difference?
My previous questions were more generic. So adding some more comments to give you more context on why I have those questions.
I was building an Ionic 2 app some time back then stopped it for a couple of months. Now getting back on Ionic app and see this new JS Client library (azure-mobile-apps-js-client) around. My Ionic 2 app is basically going to invoke/call REST endpoints implemented in Azure Mobile App backend developed using Node.js.
Last time when I was developing it by following Microsoft documentation for Azure Mobile Apps, I tried to use "cordova-plugin-ms-azure-mobile-apps" as per the docs.
Now I see this new library (azure-mobile-apps-js-client).
And therefore I have confusion on which one really to use. If anybody has a link that describes both of these libraries in detail and their differences then please do share the link. It would be great!
The cordova plugin is the JS client wrapped in a plugin. Use whichever is more convenient for you.
Does Spotify sill supports in-app Apps? I saw a couple of them the other but cannot find any examples/docs today?
Did Spotify really stopped apps that run inside the Spotify App?
Please note: Future releases of the Spotify Desktop client will no
longer feature an App Finder tab and will no longer support the
presentation of Spotify Apps, therefore this API has been
discontinued.

A user of mine is reporting that there is a new chromecast version and my app broke. I have 4 different devices and they all have build 16041, but I have no idea where to check if that is the latest. I've tried rebooting all 4 of them already.
So is there a page or blog where that is listed?
Also as a bonus question, is there a way to get updates for when the Cast Companion Library is updated? or the sdk?
Thanks.
You can check the build using the Chromecast app for Android or iOS.
Once the app detects a device, select it and then, at the very bottom of the information view, you'll find the build number of the device's firmware.
There is no page to tell you what the latest build is; new builds go out in batches like other updates so not everyone gets them all at the very same time.
As your second question, register yourself on Github for that project to be notified when there is a commit.
In future, it is best if you open different StackOverflow questions for different questions.
I've updated the SDK and all my libraries but I still can not find the com.google.android.gms.cast package in the Google Play Services api.
Is there a url we can download this from to speed up the fixes for all those api changes?
EDIT: packages are there as of a few days ago.
It says on the Google Cast developer downloads that the android sender API wont be available to download until every device gets updated to Google play services 4.2. So like you said we have to sit around and wait until Google play services 4.2 is on every device
Google Cast Downloads Page
Google Play Services, revision 15 is now available in SDK manager
From what I read on g+, the sdk wont be updated until all devices have the new Google Play Services, so us developers have to sit around unable to change our apps to work with the new changes while that deployment goes on.
i can confirm as of Feb.14th the android play services revision 15 is there.
this message indicates you're still without these packages.
make sure you have the libraries, as described here!
I had a bunch of apps that worked great in iOS 4. None of them work in iOS 5 (thanks Apple). I haven't been developing recently, and I don't have the time or knowledge to make my apps compatible with iOS 5. My question is, is there a way to make the apps available only to people running iOS 4? or do I have to just remove them from the app store? I don't want people to download my apps and have them not work. Thanks.
I believe you can set such restriction for people who are downloading your app from a computer (the app won't show up in iTunes). However, if the user is viewing the store through their iDevice, I think they can find your app and download it nonetheless.
It should suffice to simply put in the description that the app won't work with iOS 5.
Or, perhaps you should take a little look into why is your app not working. Normally the problem is not so big.
