Is there a way in self service to update spotify automatically. Or at the very least package/script the policy to always pull and install the latest version?
Yeah, I am trying to figure this out too. How would we go about doing this? It prompts users for the admin login each time Spotify is launched to update. How can we allow the user to auto update?
I have this question also. Students are always coming in for a password when Spotify updates. Can it be added to Patch Management?

+13I stopped allowing the app. They can use the web browser player and leave me out of it.

+21I just created this script today because I was disappointed that the Spotify "installer" available on their website just downloads whatever the latest version is from their site. I wanted something that was more easily deployable. It has the benefit of being a single script that covers both intel and arm CPUs. And it turned out that when I put this script in a Payload-free package, it can be used with Jamf's patch management!
#!/bin/bash
# hardware architecture check. Possible answers are "arm" or "i386"
CPU=$(uname -p)
echo "hardware architecture is $CPU . Installing $CPU version of Spotify"
# arm64 installation
arm_install()
{
curl -L https://download.scdn.co/SpotifyARM64.dmg > /Users/Shared/SpotifyARM64.dmg
hdiutil attach /Users/Shared/SpotifyARM64.dmg
cp -R /Volumes/Spotify/Spotify.app /Applications/
chown -R root:wheel /Applications/Spotify.app
chmod -R 755 /Applications/Spotify.app
hdiutil detach /Volumes/Spotify/
sleep 3
rm -Rf /Users/Shared/SpotifyARM64.dmg
}
# intel installation
intel_install()
{
curl -L https://download.scdn.co/Spotify.dmg > /Users/Shared/Spotify.dmg
hdiutil attach /Users/Shared/Spotify.dmg
cp -R /Volumes/Spotify/Spotify.app /Applications/
chown -R root:wheel /Applications/Spotify.app
chmod -R 755 /Applications/Spotify.app
hdiutil detach /Volumes/Spotify/
sleep 3
rm -Rf /Users/Shared/Spotify.dmg
}
if [ "$CPU" == arm ]
then arm_install
else intel_install
fi
echo "Finished installing $CPU version of Spotify"
exit 0
I'm sure it could use some fine adjustments, but it works as-is... at least until they either change the URL or the package names. [EDIT: I did have -noverify on the hdiutil command because during my testing, It caused errors. But I just realized that the errors were from a previous method I was using. I removed -noverify since it works as-is now]
+21Dear Spotify agents/bots/shills, @spotify123 @sedrttyaval @hardw0090 @DuaneMeade @EleanorGabriel and others
We get it. You’ve posted NUMEROUS times the same answer - in multiple languages. Please stop it. The purpose of JamfNation is for us to share new information without an agenda. All your posts are obviously for the purpose of selling premium Spotify services. Attempting to keep alive a 5 year old post with repeated plugs for apk accomplishes nothing.
