- enragedcacti 2y agoOne reason may be that it already works with iOS devices? https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/ios_sender https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/ios_sender
- herbstein 2y agoYou mean Chromecast? Which does work from iPhones?
- st3fan 2y agoChromecast only works from iOS for apps that have integrated with the Chromecast SDK. Like Netflix and Youtube. Maybe the EU can ask Google to open Chromecast up so Apple can integrate it into iOS. Then you can use it from any app without needing special integrations.
- tick_tock_tick 2y agoIt is open.... Apple just refuses to implement it.
- ThatPlayer 2y agoYeah, it's not like Chromecast is the only alternative. The Wifi Alliance has Miracast which plenty of TVs support, but iOS also doesn't support.
- seba_dos1 2y agoHow do you think Chromecast support in Chromium, VLC or even GNOME Network Displays worked?
- kelnos 2y agoApple has all the information they need, available publicly, to implement an OS-wide Chromecast client. They haven't done so because they don't want to.
