audio focus handling not working when offline and not opening player screen

[chrigist]

When you are offline, fresh start spotify, start playing a playlist (and don't open player screen by clicking on bottom bar). Audio focus requests by other apps are ignored.

As soon as you click on Spotify bottom bar and open the player screen, everything works fine. You can test/reproduce this bug with e.g. "Audio Hog: Audio Focus Tool".

Thank you for fixing this!
