Issue found on October 22, 2022 seemingly starting with Spotify 8.7.72.546.

SDK Version:

0.7.2

OS Version:

Multiple, Android 10-13

Scope(s):

App Control PlayerState

Steps to reproduce:

1. Subscribe to PlayerState and watch the playerState.isShuffling property:

SpotifyAppRemote().playerApi.subscribeToPlayerState().setEventCallback { playerState ->
    println(playerState.playbackOptions.isShuffling)
}

2. Toggle the Shuffle button within Spotify UI.

Expected behaviour:

When the Shuffle button in Spotify is enabled (green) to represent when Spotify is shuffling tracks, playerState.isShuffling should be true and not false.

Actual behaviour:

With some regional variation, it seems that Spotify ~8.7.72.546 no longer sets playerState.isShuffling:true when the Spotify app has shuffle enabled.

This makes it impossible for a custom Spotify UI to show whether Spotify is shuffling, and it breaks Toggle Shuffle functionality.

It might be related to this bug in the client. It does appear that the repeatMode always shows 0 too.

This seems to be fixed as of (at least) Spotify 8.8.12.545
