A Chromecast with Google TV is required to test Cast Connect integration but is optional for the rest of the Codelab.A Google Cast device such as a Chromecast or Android TV configured with internet access.A USB data cable to connect your mobile device to your development computer (if using a device).One mobile device with iOS 9 or later (or the Xcode Simulator).How to provide an introductory overlay.How to add a Cast mini controller to your app.How to connect to a Cast device and launch a media receiver.How to add the Cast button for selecting a Google Cast device.How to add the Google Cast SDK to a sample video app.When you have completed this codelab, you will have an iOS video app that will be able to Cast videos to a Google Cast device. The Google Cast Design Checklist is provided to make the Cast user experience simple and predictable across all supported platforms. The Cast SDK allows you to add the necessary UI components based on the Google Cast Design Checklist. The Google Cast SDK lets you extend your app to control Google Cast enabled devices (such as a TV or sound system).
