Install

APK from Releases.

Rooted (LSPosed): install, enable, scope to Spotify — you know the drill.

Non-rooted (LSPatch): Spotify enforces Play Integrity during login. Bypass this using the Downgrade-Login-Upgrade method:

1. Download two Spotify APKs: an older version (e.g., v8.9.18) and the target version (v9.1.28.2252).
2. Patch both APKs with Spicy EX using LSPatch (ensures matching signatures).
3. Uninstall current Spotify and install the patched OLD version.
4. Log in (Email/Password only, no Google/Facebook).
5. Install the patched NEW version over the old one as an update.

Build

JDK 21 and an Android SDK are required. Gradle wrapper builds should be run with JDK 21; newer JDKs can fail during build-script compilation. The Android app still targets Java 11 bytecode unless that is changed intentionally.

# Build both debug flavors and copy stamped APKs into artifacts/.
JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk21 ./gradlew :app:assembleLiteDebug :app:assembleFullDebug

# Run the primary JVM unit suite (current tests exercise full-flavor romanization code).
JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk21 ./gradlew :app:testFullDebugUnitTest

lite disables transliteration/translation features; full enables them and includes the heavier language dependencies. For app-code changes, validate both flavors unless the change is demonstrably scoped to one source set.

Docs-only changes do not require unit/device testing. Device behavior remains the final validation path for UI, hook, and Spotify-host integration changes.
