React Native wrapper for the Google Cast SDK

react-native-google-cast

This library wraps the native Google Cast SDK for Android and iOS (and maybe web/Chrome in the future), providing a unified JavaScript interface.

It is written in TypeScript so types will always be up-to-date.

Version overview

RNGC	React Native	Purpose
1.x	🤷‍♂️	Old version implemented for Google Cast SDK v2 with manual discoverability. Not maintained anymore.
3.x	>=0.40	Rewrite of the library for Google Cast SDK v3 with automatic session management. Only bug fixes will be merged.
4.x	>=0.60	Current version with a completely rewritten API, closely resembling native Android/iOS(/Chrome?) APIs. We highly recommend to use the latest version.
