Are there any solutions in how iOS app switch hdmi input when starting airplay?
I want to switch HDMI-input when tap a airplay icon on my iphone app automatically,
just like google-chromecast.
I use MPMovieplayer to play my movies.
ofcourse, i can see a movie playing when switch HDMI manually.
Kind Regards.
OK, i found i can't do that.
AppleTV does not support HDMI-CEC.
So we can't have any code switch hdmi-input by Starting AirPlay.
It was not caused by codes, caused by hardware.

I want build a iOS app have some function:
Connect to another iphone (Target phone) by bluetooth connection (I did it completely)
Have two button: play, pause. After connect to Target phone, user can switch state play or pause of video playing on target phone (like video playing on youtube, netflix, hulu).
I tested with: MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer.pause() but it only work with system music app, I need work with youtube, netflix...
Anyone have some idea? Please help me. Thank you!
I'm working on an IOS 6 app that's currently in development. The app has about 5-6 snippets of audio that play at various stages, currently when the device is paired with some bluetooth speakers (e.g. in a car) the audio does not play through the speakers.
Does anyone know what's involved with making this app work with paired bluetooth speakers? My initial assumption was that it wouldn't need anything extra done, it would just work. I had thought bluetooth paired speakers worked like as if you'd plugged in speakers directly into the device, all audio was routed through the speakers as long as they were paired.
This doesn't appear to be the case though.
I think you have to place an MPVolumeView somewhere in your interface, and enable the showsRouteButton property, then users can use that button to change the audio route to Bluetooth. You can also disable the showsVolumeSlider property if you don't need the volume slider.
I am encountering an issue which I believe is caused, as a result of upgrading to iOS version 6 on my iPad2 and iPad4. I have searched the support boards but have not found a solution to this issue. The issue involves mirroring the iPad on a TV using the official HDMI adaptor as shown here: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter
When playing a video on the device using the native MPMoviePlayerController, via the adapter, the result on the TV is not full screen and, instead, it is provided with black borders around the video (these bars are an ever present even when viewing the app's non-video parts or the standard apple menus which I believe was always the case but, previously, the video played full screen via the cable).
I have tested apps which I have developed which contain video playback, as well as a number of leading apps on the marketplace, and all experience the same issue when playing video mirrored on the device with iOS6 and TV at the same time. The only app I found that was able to play the video full screen on TV is the BBC iPlayer, but this seems to switch of mirroring off temporarily when the video is played full screen on TV.
I believe that, when on iOS 5, it was possible to mirror the video playback on device and TV simultaneously, and at full screen, without the black bars on the TV.
Can anyone here please confirm if this issue is related to iOS 6 and be able to kindly point me in the right direction to resolve this issue in the iOS apps that I have developed?
Are you sure that this is not happening because of your external screen's overscan settings?
Check this thread iOS screen mirroring shows overscan borders on selected apps
And here is some information on overscan & underscan from Apple

I looked up the official documents for airplay, found the airplay can only support audio and video. But beside that, the native photos app can airplay photos. So is there any methods to airplay photos? BTW, I know the "mirroring" mode can do this job: I can detect 2 screens in my code and present a different screen to the iOS device's in this mode. However, the "mirroring" mode only exists in iPad 2, new iPad and iPhone 4S...
I found solution here

and
How to find the IP-address of the active AirPlay device?
I could send some UIImage to apple TV.
but I don't know if apple allows using these Unoffical Airplay protocol.
It is documented on Apple's site. When the user enables airplay mirroring, your app will find two UIScreen:s. It's quite simple.
Here's a sample app http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/GLAirplay/Introduction/Intro.html
Is there a way to tell the iOS simulator which audio device connected to your computer you want it to use?
The simulator seems to pick whatever audio device is last connected to your machine. I've got a USB audio device (fasttrack pro) I use for my main sound playback and then a USB headset I use for my skype calls. More often than not, the simulator's audio is played on the headset instead of my main speakers.
Ok, I found that both the input and output device much match in system sound settings. Often I have them set to different devices. If they don't match, the simulator seems to default to the last connected audio device selected among the input and output devices.
On a related note: if you're like me and don't like interface sounds and therefore uncheck the preference "Play user interface sound effects" (Sound > Sound Effects), you'll need to check it to get sound out of the simulator.
I doubt the simulator has a setting for that, but you can set the main output device in System Preferences > Sound.
Don't know if this will fix your issue, but it fixed mine.
I wanted the iOS simulator to output sound through a device I had connected and not the internal speakers. When I select the System Prefs Sound and selected my device as output, it would not work.
So, I selected the Sound Effects tab from the Prefs - Sound window and selected my device under Play Sound effects Through and presto it worked.
Don't know the in-outs of iphone sound, but apparently mine were being treated as sound effects.
Hope that helps, if not, I gave it a shot.
Open iOS Simulator, under Hardware toolbar you can control Audio Input, Audio Output, and volume as well!
I think it was added at Xcode 9.2, and that it's available only when running simulator with iOS 11 and above
func vibratePhone() {
if (UIDevice.current.model == "iPhone") {
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(1352)
} else {
AudioServicesPlayAlertSound(1105)
}
}
1352 Is the system sound ID for Vibration and 1105 is for Tock.caf if the user's device is an iPad or an iPod Tock.caf will be played in place of vibration.
Working on an audio project on my studio and still didn't got it working on MOTU Hardware with everything pointing to the interface! All system sounds route properly except the iOS Sim!
Did this workaround:
iOS Sim/OS X -> SoundFlower virtual I/O -> (Any audio program like Logic/Live) -> MOTU HW
This might give you the freedom to route your audio as you please ;)
