I don't know about the apple equivalent, but Spotify is available as a music app in android auto. The interface is intentionally trimmed down such that your touch interactions are limited.

Instead, it wants you to do as much as possible by voice. It almost works, but is frustrating enough I learned to just get the songs and albums i want lined up in advance and can get to in 2-3 touches. Not quite the same as tactile controls, but pretty close.
