Implement an improved casting experience in iOS 13 with the latest Google Cast upgrade.

3.8.1

Release Date: November 25, 2019 (Build 108)

Update

  • Maintenance release.

3.8.0

Release Date: November 5, 2019 (Build 107)

Update

  • Upgraded the iOS Google Cast Sender library to version 4.4.5 which provides an improved experience in iOS 13. Apple introduced stricter permissions requirements in iOS 13 that enforces a tighter control for bluetooth access. To accommodate this change there are now two implementation options—guest-mode that includes bluetooth support and non-guest mode which does not have Bluetooth support. When upgrading your app you will need to decide if you want to keep guest mode support or remove guest mode support. More information on how to update your casting implementation can be found here
