This Apple TV tweak patches Spotify’s client to change ad-related behavior.
About SpotifyATVAdBlock
SpotifyATVAdBlock is a dylib tweak for Spotify on Apple TV (tvOS) that hooks into Spotify's Objective-C runtime to modify ad-related behavior. It is shared as code on GitHub with build, injection, and installation instructions. The readme notes testing on Spotify version 9.1.42.
The project works across network, bootstrap config, metadata, player, and video layers to intercept requests, responses, and track classification. Users build the dylib with Theos on macOS, inject it into a decrypted Spotify tvOS IPA with insert_dylib, then sign and install it on an Apple TV using a certificate, provisioning profile, and devicectl.
It suits people comfortable with command-line tools, IPA patching, and Apple developer signing who want to experiment with Spotify client behavior on tvOS for personal and educational use.
