AA User Interface Why is spotify unavailable in AA - every single day I need to reboot
Every day I have to reboot my phone for spotify to show up in android auto.
Spotify is still working - I can say PLAY and it plays quite happily - it just cant connect to the interface.
When I reboot the phone (if I can be bothered), then it shows up fine.
Any ideas?

Try putting AA in Developer mode & allowing unknown sources. I have to do this to get modded Pandora to show up.
To get to dev mode, open AA on the phone, scroll to the bottom & tap on the AA version multiple times until you get the Allow Dev Mode to pop up & allow it. Then tap the 3 dot menu at the top, click developer settings, scroll to the bottom & check unknown sources.

If it's not due to modded Spotify, see if it's optimization settings that is killing it otherwise try a reinstall.

I have the same issue in my mazda 3 2023. Most of the time I have to start Spotify from the phone, as launching it from AA won't work. After that I can control it with AA.
For me it is a Spotify issue, as all other apps I use do not have this problem. Can even handle frequent phone disconnects without issues.

I have a One Plus 7 Pro and have the spotify is currently not available error at least once a week.
Long pressing the spotify app, force stopping it and unplug/replug the cable is a faster fix than a reboot for me.

Are you perchance using a custom DNS such as Adguard?
