Google Cast makes it easy for developers to extend their mobile experience to the most beautiful screens and speakers in the home.
At Google I/O, we announced our new Google Cast SDK. This new SDK focuses on making development for Cast quicker, more reliable, and easier to maintain. We’ve introduced full state management that helps you implement the right abstraction between your app and Google Cast. We’ve also delivered a full Cast user experience, matching the Google Cast design checklist.
Today we are releasing this SDK for Android and iOS Senders, including an introductory video, full documentation, and reference sample apps and codelab tutorials for both platforms. Initial developer feedback is that first-time implementations can save significant development time compared with our previous SDKs.
A few things we’ve announced will be coming in the next few months, including a customizable Expanded Controller and adding customization to the Mini Controller, to help accelerate development even further.
Drop by our Cast developer site to learn about the new SDK and APIs, and join our developer community on Google+ at g.co/googlecastdev to discuss this with other developers.
