Disable automatic updates for Spotify

We allow our employees to use the spotify app. Most of them are standard users meaning they get prompted for admin credentials for the update helper. What we want to do is kill automatic updates and then they can update via either self service or we automatically manage updates when our autopkg/jss importer runs.

There are a few scripts on git to do this but none have really been proven to work.

Does anyone have a surefire solution for Big Sur?

Would also really like an answer to this. I use config profiles for Office, Slack, Chrome, etc.. Would love to find a similar com.spotify.whatever and create a .plist for it to set DisableAutoUpdate to True.

Were you ever able to come up with a solution for this? Zoom popping up after each update is worrisome as well.

Did this work for you?

How do you block the Spotify update helper?
