RemoteClientException: {"message":"Client authentication failed: INVALID_CLIENT"}

[digitxo]

I have the proper client id. What gives?

    SpotifyAppRemote.CONNECTOR.connect(this, connectionParams,
            new Connector.ConnectionListener() {

                @Override
                public void onConnected(SpotifyAppRemote spotifyAppRemote) {
                    mSpotifyAppRemote = spotifyAppRemote;
                    Log.d("MainActivity", "Connected! Yay!");

                    // Now you can start interacting with App Remote
                    connected();
                }

                @Override
                public void onFailure(Throwable throwable) {
                    Log.e("MainActivity",  throwable.getMessage(), throwable);

                    // Something went wrong when attempting to connect! Handle errors here
                }
            });

The onFailureThrowable is called.

I am seeing the same error. I'm also seeing INVALID_CLIENT if I try to connect separately using the authentication API. This error happens both with my personal/hacking client ID and with my company's official client ID.

I am also getting the same thing.

Is this supposed to work from an un-signed APK? or do we have to sign the app before we try it? and then use the signed fingerprint? Seems like if I use the debug fingerprint then I can use an unsigned APK but maybe not. Or maybe fingerprints have nothing to do with this :)

I am a little surprised this has gone for 10 days without any reply from Spotify.....

Ok, this is fixed for me. I changed the Redirect URL in the dashboard to "testschema://callback" which I copied from the sample app. Before I had a qualified domain name so apparently that was the wrong value. And changed that value in the MainActivity REDIRECT_URI field. Yay for samples!

[ronkupersonos]

@SteveOliverC - did you use your own client ID or the client ID from the sample code? I

[SteveOliverC]

@ronkupersonos I used my own client ID

Strange. I tried again today and it works!

I am still getting the same exception in latest version of spotify spotify-app-remote-release-0.6.1.aar

Caused by: com.spotify.protocol.client.error.RemoteClientException: {"message":"Client authentication failed:INVALID_CLIENT"}

I am using the correct client id.

Had the same issue for spotify-app-remote-release-0.6.1.aar. Entering the Redirect URI to spotify-example-app-login://callback, Bundle ID - package name and android packages (Android Package Name and SHA1 Fingerprint) resolved the issue for me.

I'm still getting the issue, when I compile my application using Bazel, the authentication window doesn't pop up at all to allow me to grant permissions
