Unmet dependencies under OpenSUSE Tumbleweed-Slowscroll

Launching the AppImage gave error messages for loading shared libraries, which required installing libayatana-appindicator3-1 and libatomic1, but the next one required was libcurl-gnutls4 which was (no longer) available in the repos, so I had to give up...

This AppImage only bundles what the .deb package contain... I don't know if this can help, but to test any compatibility you may extract the appimage:

./*.AppImage --appimage-extract

edit the AppRun script like this

#!/bin/sh
HERE="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "${0}")")"
export PATH="${HERE}/opt/spotify/:${HERE}/opt/spotify/Apps/:${PATH:+:$PATH}"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/:/lib64/:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/:/usr/lib/:"${HERE}/opt/spotify/:${HERE}/opt/spotify/swiftshader/${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="${HERE}/opt/spotify/${XDG_DATA_DIRS:+:$XDG_DATA_DIRS}"
export GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR="${HERE}/opt/spotify/swiftshader/${GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR:+:$GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR}"
EXEC="${HERE}/opt/spotify/spotify"
exec "${EXEC}"

and then run the AppRun script

./AppRun

with this change the AppImage should recognize the system libraries

EDIT: let me know if this works for you

@ivan-hc Oh! I've already attempted to use the DEB package which ended with unresolvable dependency problems. Although I've seen the statement that it "has been built from the official deb package" I just wanted to try and see if it contained those unmet dependencies as AppImages normally do.
I hope this experimental version can reach a mature state soon. I wish I could contribute. Thanks anyway...

@Sadi58 download it again, I've uncluded libcurl-gnutls libraries from Arch Linux as last reference in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so in case they are not compatible on other systems, they will not be called, and if not available, they will be called.

Let me know if work.

Oh, it's working now!!! Thank you so much! ❤️
Now maybe I should try and learn some basic information about unpacking and repacking AppImage files so that I can change the system tray icon to match the Breeze icon theme as I did in the DEB installation under Debian: replacing the green "spotify-linux-16.png" "spotify-linux-22.png" "spotify-linux-24.png" "spotify-linux-32.png" in the directory "/usr/share/spotify/icons/" with monochrome ones.😉
