CastnPlay: Integrating Chromecast & Airplay in Flutter
summary
A Flutter app adds Chromecast and AirPlay support end-to-end: a pigeon-generated bridge wires Flutter to native, Android uses Google Cast SDK with MDNS discovery and a custom device list, iOS uses AVRouteDetector/AVPlayer with allowsExternalPlayback, and playback controls (play/pause/seek) come from the receiver. The repo includes starter and final projects and a checklist of 11 TODOs. The demo connects to a Chromecast dongle and AirPlay device on real phones and successfully loads and controls media without Pub.dev casting packages.
