xManager is a bit sus IMO because they claim their installer is open source while consisting of 15000 lines of unreadable machine-generated Java code: https://github.com/Team-xManager/xManager/blob/main/app/src/main/java/com/xc3fff0e/xmanager/MainActivity.java

They are also quite opposed to publishing the source code of the actual Spotify patches for rather vague reasons: https://github.com/Team-xManager/xManager/issues/324

Mind you, I still use it because it's pretty much the only option apart from YouTube front ends on mobile, but I would advise being very careful with the permissions you give it.

Yikes! didn’t know that! Really wish that there were youtube front ends with last.fm support, because i would switch from spotify in an INSTANT if there were. if invidious or piped just added the ability to scrobble i would cancel my spotify right now
