Issue
I have followed the CastHelloText-android example on github. When I use either the receiver they specified in the demo or the default receiver, the cast icon shows up in my application.
However, as soon as I change the app_id to be the one provided by the Google Cast SDK Developer Console for my registered application, the icon doesn't show.
I've tried rebooting my chromecast and my android device. All to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Solution
Make sure the serial number for the device that you have registered on the dev console is correct, it is sometimes hard to read the serial number (take a picture and zoom in). Also make sure the checkbox that sends the serial number is checked when you setup you chromecast. If cast icon doesn't show up for your own app-id but shows up for the other one, then there is an issue with your app/device registration.
