HTTPs Support

Warning:Commercial Hardware tools and the eSDK are available only for approved partners

HTTPS support is required in order to provide:

  • Playback of podcasts hosted outside Spotify
  • Playback of lossless audio
  • User privacy
  • Future use of modern protocols for eSDK to Spotify backend communication.

Note: eSDK has a software abstraction for the TLS stack that the integration must use to implement the full HTTPS stack.
Please refer to spotify_embedded_tls.h for more detail on the APIs to implement.

There are also example implementations using MbedTLS and OpenSSL under examples/tls.

If you are building with cmake we include a minimal FindMbedTLS under examples (as there is no official one provided), which can be used as find_package(MbedTLS).
For OpenSSL, find_package(OpenSSL) is enough provided you have the development package installed.
