Hi! I’m having trouble connecting my Spotify account to the google home app on iOS. When I go to link my Spotify through the music section on the app it seems to be working (App > settings > music > link Spotify). It opens the Spotify app that I am logged into using the same Gmail email address and has a little pop up that says “authorizing” which changes to a tick, but then… nothing. It doesn’t change to a different screen or flick back to the google home app. If I go back to the home app myself it’s back to the linking page it still shows as unlinked. I went to my Spotify account and it shows I have made the connection but google home doesn't show anything. Spotify can recognize the nest mini as a speaker and play through it but I just can’t link the account on the Home app so when I try to ask to play from a playlist it just plays from YouTube which is annoying. I have deleted both apps & re-downloaded, refreshed both apps, signed in and out and even disconnected my Spotify and re-connected it but nothing is working. Any suggestions?

Delete the Spotify app, re-link Spotify from the Home app (which forces Google to use its own auth screen instead of redirecting you to the Spotify app), then re-download Spotify.

Just piling on...I'm having the exact same issue with my brand new Nest Hub and the Home App. My Spotify account shows the App is connected.

I was hoping otherwise because of the many Spotify songs I'd downloaded for offline play but, yes, this appears to be the only workable solution. Thanks for confirming, elowing!
