Issue: "One Moment - Please make sure Spotify is running and that you have an internet connection."

[github-jd]

Since I've installed this app, it says "One Moment - Please make sure spotify is running ... ".

Can anyone help me with resolving this issue?

This app is abandonware.

My hunch is that the reason for this is that in newer macOS versions, Baritone no longer needs access to "System Events" permissions to control Spotify, but instead needs to specifically ask for Automation access to control the app Spotify. Not sure whether it's a 1-line permissions change, or whether there's a whole different API for using Automation vs. System Events 🤷‍♂️
