iOS simulator vs actual device #10

Closed jcarolus closed 5 years ago

jcarolus commented 5 years ago

I just ran into this issue that the Simulator will show the cast button, while on an actual device it won't. This is because of Xcode 10 Warning: If developing using Xcode 10 and targeting iOS devices running iOS 12 or higher, the "Access WiFi Information" capability is required in order to discover and connect to Cast devices. mentioned on https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/ios_sender/

It should be an easy fix adding an app.entitlements file to the demo apps iOS resources - I may be able to pick this up later and create a PR.

Thanks. This didn't come up because I've only tested on iOS 11. It looks like you need a paid account so your provisioning profile can have the Access WiFi Information capability enabled.

Do you know if app.entitlements can be bundled as part of a plugin? Or will it have to be a manual step when setting up your iOS app?

Looks like there's a plugin to handle it at the moment, or we can create a build hook. It might be just worth mentioning in the README.
