How To Fix Spotify Not available in your Country Error? Spotify is indeed a great music streaming service available on the Google Play Store. The app actually allows users to find and listen to music, song, podcast, audio books, novels, soundtrack without downloading.

One of the best parts about the Google Clock app is its ability to play from your favorite music apps when your alarm goes off. Unfortunately, many people using Google Clock are being given a rude reawakening due to an issue with the Spotify app causing alarm music to play again shortly after being dismissed.
Play your favorites. Listen to the songs you love, and discover new music and podcasts. .Recommendations based on what you love. Like radio, but better.Spotify Connect: Listen on your speakers or TV, using the Spotify app as a remote. Spotify is also free on your desktop, mobile and tablet. Subscribe to Spotify Premium to play offline, ad-free, on any device. Interesting note: there are now two apps in the Google Play Store under Spotify Ltd. The first one - Spotify, is the existing app.
Over the course of 2019, the Google Clock app picked up the ability to use music from Spotify, Pandora, and YouTube Music as an alarm tone, letting you wake up to your favorite tunes. To do this, Clock connects directly with each music service’s Android app for both searching for music to play and for playing the song(s) when the time is right. An unfortunate effect of this is that sometimes updating your music apps can have unintended consequences, something that those who prefer Spotify have learned all to well this week.
Following a recent update to the Spotify app to version 8.5.43.724, the connection between Spotify and the Google Clock app has gone seemingly haywire. Approximately three minutes after dismissing your alarm, Spotify will spontaneously resume playing music in a stuttering manner. Worse, the Spotify app shows your music as paused, despite this obviously not being the case.
Update 2/10: Spotify seems to have caught on to the issue and has begun rolling out an update to version 8.5.44.941, which — in our testing, at least — fixes the strange problem following a Google Clock alarm. The update is available to download now via the Google Play Store.
I’ve personally witnessed this on my family’s Pixel 3 and 3a, and our Dylan Roussel had this happen on his Pixel 4, already suggesting the issue is widespread. Over on Reddit, “Deedlebagger” has kindly recorded a video of the issue occurring on his own Pixel 3.
Apps Not In Play Store
Using a spare phone with an outdated version of the Spotify app, I was able to confirm that older versions of Spotify do not see any issues when used for a Google Clock alarm, only the most recent version. Similarly, YouTube Music and Pandora are not affected, which at least means they can be used as a back-up wake-up method while Spotify works out this issue.

Sameer Samat, vice president of product management at Google, on Google’s Android Developer Blog:
We want to be sure our policies are clear and up to date so theycan be applied consistently and fairly to all developers, and sowe have clarified the language in our Payments Policy to bemore explicit that all developers selling digital goods in theirapps are required to use Google Play’s billing system.
Again, this isn’t new. This has always been the intention of thislong standing policy and this clarification will not affect thevast majority of developers with apps on Google Play. Less than 3%of developers with apps on Play sold digital goods over the last12 months, and of this 3%, the vast majority (nearly 97%) alreadyuse Google Play’s billing. But for those who already have an appon Google Play that requires technical work to integrate ourbilling system, we do not want to unduly disrupt their roadmapsand are giving a year (until September 30, 2021) to complete anyneeded updates. And of course we will require Google’s apps thatdo not already use Google Play’s billing system to make thenecessary updates as well.
This whole blog post is rather opaque. Basically they’re saying two things. First, big whales like Spotify and Netflix that have been using their own credit card processing in their Android apps need to switch to Google’s system for the apps they distribute via the Play Store by next year. Most reports are mentioning Spotify and Netflix here, but unless I’m missing something this policy change (or as Google claims, “clarification”) will also apply to Apple Music — the Android version of which charges users who sign up in the app directly, not via Google Play. The fact that Apple forces all subscription streaming services to use Apple’s in-app payments on iOS but doesn’t use Google’s on Android for Apple Music has been a source of much heckling.

Second, in a masterful jujitsu move turning Epic’s own language about “fairness” to its own advantage, Google is making a vague promise about making it easier to use third-party app stores on Android:
In response to that feedback, we will be making changes inAndroid 12 (next year’s Android release) to make it even easierfor people to use other app stores on their devices while beingcareful not to compromise the safety measures Android has inplace. We are designing all this now and look forward to sharingmore in the future!

There are no additional details, just that. But they’re presenting it as the main thrust of today’s announcement, not the move to require Spotify/Netflix/et al to use Google’s payment system for apps in the Play Store.
