Spotify runs on Apple HomeView via CarPlay mirroring

Apple's HomeView smart-home hub does not include an App Store, but it can run third-party audio and video apps that support CarPlay by mirroring them from a paired iPhone. In a video posted on Mastodon, Broadcasts app developer Steve Troughton-Smith showed how Spotify appears on a virtualized HomeView screen.

The hub comes pre-installed with Apple’s own apps, including Alarms, Calendar, FaceTime, Find My, Home, Intercom, Messages, Music, Podcasts, Reminders, Safari, Settings, Timers, Weather, and World Clock. It also supports CarPlay-enabled apps from the iPhone such as Apple Music Classical, Apple News, Apple TV, Audiobooks, and other supported third-party services like Spotify.

HomeView is currently available for pre-order and is scheduled to ship on Friday, November 13.
