Core Problem Solved

Extended an open-source deep linking library by adding first-class Spotify support, enabling web Spotify URLs to seamlessly open the native Spotify application across both iOS and Android while supporting multiple Spotify content types.

Technical Architecture Breakdown

Designed a dedicated Spotify platform handler following the library's platform abstraction.

Implemented dynamic URL parsing using regular expressions.

Supported Tracks, Artists, Albums, Playlists, Shows, Episodes, and Audiobooks.

Converted web URLs into platform-specific native deep links.

Used the spotify:// URI scheme for iOS.

Implemented Android intent:// deep links targeting the official Spotify package.

Integrated the handler into the library's platform registry.

Updated platform types for full TypeScript support.

Maintained consistency with the library's existing architecture.
