Apple AirPlay technology to greatly improve

As usually happens at the end Apple presentationAfter a few days begin to emerge new undocumented details and functions. Thus, developers of cross-platform applications for mirroringa content from mobile devices Reflector note that Apple held a large-scale "renovation» AirPlay, optimizing the safety, speed and performance.

About the new product can yet be judged only from the words Squirrels development team, but their colleagues certainly have to also look for workarounds as soon as possible. The Apple gradually approach to the possibility of connecting all your gadgets on the same network, and the novelty - a direct confirmation.

In iOS 9, Apple has made a radical change in the streaming playback AirPlay protocol. Many setup interface devices exchange mechanisms between the input and output devices and connections have undergone dramatic changes. They affect not only security, but also as devices communicate with each other. And, despite the fact that developers continue to use AirPlay API for streaming, many of them now have to come up with workarounds for the correct operation of the application.

We found changes in the security protocol, speed and performance. Some of them are noticeably accelerate stack work and provide access to cool features like the one-time pairing. This reduces battery consumption, provides faster encryption and connection. This protocol is designed from the ground up for existing Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi direct, AWDL (Wi-Fi direct, developed by Apple for AirDrop and some other functions), Bluetooth or even USB CarPlay and QuickTime. It is obvious that in the future Apple plans to integrate all of your devices in easy-to-use network.

It is likely that the changes are also associated with the emergence of Apple TVThat will perform the role of a hub for the remote access to the products HomeKit and maintain external controllers. Whatever it was, is now, once connecting the devices to each other, you can forget about the key exchange in the future. But, with an eye to the fact that Apple has not yet prepared the documentation for this innovation, the developers warn their Reflector colleagues about the upcoming search for solutions to work correctly, and users - to refuse an upgrade if the need for the program critical.
