Cast Playground

Playground project that demonstrates all possible APIs of the react-native-google-cast library.

The goal is to be able to explore the library's features, as well as provide an app for automatic tests.

In addition, this playground project demonstrates how to set up and use react-native-google-cast with:

• react-navigation

Setup

Make sure you're in the playground folder:

• Run yarn (or npm i) to install dependencies
• Run yarn start (or npm run start) to start Metro Bundler

iOS

• cd ios && pod install
• open ios/RNGCPlayground.xcworkspace and Run from Xcode

Android

• in Android Studio open android/ folder and run from there

Custom Receiver

The playground app works with a custom receiver. Normally, that receiver is served from https://react-native-google-cast-playground-receiver.netlify.app.

However, if you need to make changes to the receiver and test it locally, you can temporarily use your own receiver:

• create a new custom app in Cast Publish
• npm i -g serve
• serve -l PORT -s receiver
• set the app id in ios/RNGCPlayground/AppDelegate.m (iOS) and android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml (Android)
• you can debug the receiver in Chrome by navigating to chrome://inspect
