Spotify Tutorial App not found

I know very similar questions have been asked before. Like here: Spotify apps / home directory location (Windows local development)?

But the solutions suggested in that thread have not worked for me. Here's what I've done:

1) Enabled developer account 2) Followed these steps https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/apps/tutorial/ 3) Including creating a directory called "tutorial" under /user/Documents/Spotify/

I have deinstalled, reinstalled, etc the client. And I still get "Sorry, I could not find this app." and "MetaDataFailed" etc.

I run Win 7 64 bit and Spotify version 0.8.3.222.g317ab.79d

I'm sure the solution to this is real simple, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

Your app name MUST match the identifier you specify for BundleIdentifier in your manifest.json file.

open app: spotify:app:my-identifier

manifest.json: "BundleIdentifier": "my-identifier"

I got the same error as well, but after adding the required keys (More here: Application Manifest) I got it working.

Another thing I noticed was that when adding the BundleIdentifier key in manifest.json I only could get it to work with a lowercase name. E.g. spotify:app:myapp instead of spotify:app:MyApp.

This could of course be something specific on my end, but it is worth checking out.

Just a clarification you are using c:\users[user name]\Documents\Spotify[app name]\ as the folder? Your post looked like /user was the root.

Also, in your manifest.json file if your BundleVersion is a number equal to or less than the number in production your local app will be ignored. Spotify will only load a local app with a BundleVersion number higher than production.
