Cast Integration

Cast functionality is fully supported. To enable Cast, you only need to add the following parameters:

Specify NSBonjourServices in your Info.plist to allow local network discovery to succeed on iOS 14.

You will need to add both googlecast._tcp and ._googlecast._tcp as services for device discovery to work properly.

<key>NSBonjourServices</key>
<array>
  <string>_googlecast._tcp</string>
  <string>_ABCD1234._googlecast._tcp</string>
</array>

Add NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription to your Info.plist
We strongly recommend that you customize the message shown in the Local Network prompt by adding an app-specific permission string in your app's Info.plist file for the NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription such as to describe Cast discovery and other discovery services.

<key>NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription</key>
<string>${PRODUCT_NAME} uses the local network to discover Cast-enabled devices on your WiFi
network.</string>

Additionally, you must enable Cast within the CMS for it to function properly.
