After a long ordeal Koushik Dutta’s AllCast app is now officially compatible with the Chromecast, thanks to Google’s release of the Google Cast SDK yesterday. If you remember, Koush was one of the first developers to offer an app that could send photos, music, and videos to the Chromecast, but Google put the kibosh on it since most apps were only supposed to work on whitelisted Chromecast devices at that time.
Koush went ahead and released the AllCast app in the Play Store for other devices like the Roku, Apple TV, Xbox, and just about any DLNA renderer. Even so, Chromecast was something people were waiting for, and the wait is over.
Koush said that updating the AllCast app to support Chromecast didn’t take more than 20 minutes, which means that hopefully a lot of other developers will be adding support as well. The updated app is now in the Play Store. The free version limits you to one minute of streaming, while the paid version ($4.99) removes the limit. You will need the latest update to Google Play Services, which is version 4.2.34. Google started pushing that update yesterday, so it could take a day or two to hit your device.
