Expected behavior
Replace cache folder without “.” In it

Interesting to see you develop on ipad!

Likely ipad doesn't allow creating folders just like on desktop. I believe you have two options:

• when using SpotifyOAuth or SpotifyClientCredentials you could set a custom cache_handler=CacheFileHandler with a custom cache_path that works for you

  spotipy/spotipy/cache_handler.py

  Line 56 in cc5eaca

  * cache_path: May be supplied, will otherwise be generated

• you could avoid creating a file altogether by using a CacheHandler that isn't the default CacheFileHandler https://spotipy.readthedocs.io/en/2.22.0/#customized-token-caching. For a simple app my recommendation would be to use MemoryCacheHandler.

We lack some examples around this but if you share your code we will be able to help.
