2015 XLT 4.2 screen with Sync. About a week ago I charged my iPhone one night. Woke up and it said it needed to be restored. So I restored my phone and it updated to IOS 11.2.5. I plugged the phone into my truck to listen to Spotify - didn't work (it did before). Then I got a prompt on my phone asking if I wanted to install "Microsoft Auto" apps. I chose No because I didn't have time to mess with it.
The next day, same prompt so I hit Yes and it took me to a list of apps - the Ford ones, Pandora, iHeartRadio, etc (no Spotify). I grabbed AccuWeather just to try one. It worked and weather info showed on the screen and it read me the forecast.
Now I want to mess with other apps but cannot find them and my phone doesn't prompt for them. Find Apps in the Sync menu did nothing.

Any ideas?

 

I can't speak for older versions of Sync, but iOS 11.2.5 doesn't work with Sync 3 - it is a known issue. The 11.3 public beta is working fine if you want to sign up with Apple for public beta access.

 

It looks like Spotify discontinued their Sync support last month. I couldn't find any specific reasons why, but I found it disappointing as well. Here's the link I found:

Probably because of Ford Alexa app, amazon uses crummy tactics all the time.
