It's an issue for Spotify vs Apple Music for instance. Apple wants a cut of Spotify's fee, and also had APIs for Apple Watch etc only they themselves could use.


Spotify never implemented those APIs.

There were other apps e.g. Podcast ones that used it.


They did, Apple just rejected their app... https://www.timetoplayfair.com/timeline/


No. They wanted to "work with Apple" on developing proposals that favoured their specific app.

And then kicked up a fuss when Apple said no.

When actual APIs were released Spotify never bothered to implement them for quite some time.
