AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
GCKDevice is an object that represents a receiver device and inherits from NSObject, NSCopying, and NSSecureCoding.
-
The class includes instance methods for comparing devices, checking capabilities, and managing arbitrary attributes.
-
There is a class method to extract the device category from a unique ID.
-
Key properties of GCKDevice include network address, service port, unique ID, friendly name, model name, icons, status, and type.
Overview
An object representing a receiver device.
Inherits NSObject, <NSCopying>, and <NSSecureCoding>.
< NSSecureCoding > *)
Method Detail
| - (BOOL) isSameDeviceAs: | (const GCKDevice *) | other |
Tests if this device refers to the same physical device as another.
Returns YES
if both GCKDevice
objects have the same category, device ID, IP address, service port, and protocol version.
| - (BOOL) hasCapabilities: | (GCKDeviceCapabilities) | deviceCapabilities |
Returns YES
if the device supports all of the given capabilities.
- Parameters
- deviceCapabilitiesA bitwise-OR of one or more of the GCKDeviceCapabilities constants.
| - (void) setAttribute: | (NSObject< NSSecureCoding > *) | attribute | |
| forKey: | (NSString *) | key | |
Sets an arbitrary attribute in the object.
May be used by custom device providers to store device-specific information for non-Cast devices.
- Parameters
-
attribute The attribute value, which must be key-value coding compliant, and cannot be nil.key The key that identifies the attribute. The key is an arbitrary string. It cannot be nil.
| - (nullable NSObject<NSSecureCoding> *) attributeForKey: | (NSString *) | key |
Looks up an attribute in the object.
- Parameters
- keyThe key that identifies the attribute. The key is an arbitrary string. It cannot be
nil.
- Returns
- The value of the attribute, or
nilif no such attribute exists.
| - (void) removeAttributeForKey: | (NSString *) | key |
Removes an attribute from the object.
- Parameters
- keyThe key that identifies the attribute. The key is an arbitrary string. It cannot be
nil.
| - (void) removeAllAttributes |
Removes all attributes from the object.
| + (NSString *) deviceCategoryForDeviceUniqueID: | (NSString *) | deviceUniqueID |
Extracts the device category from a device unique ID.
Property Detail

- Use networkAddress The device's IPv4 address, in dot-notation. Used when making network requests. This will be an empty string for GCKDevice objects that are created with an IPv6 address.
The device's IP address.
Used when making network requests.

The device's service port.
A unique identifier for the device.
The device's friendly name.
This is a user-assignable name such as "Living Room".
The device's model name.
An array of GCKImage objects containing icons for the device.
The device's status at the time that it was most recently scanned.
The status text reported by the currently running receiver application, if any.
The device's protocol version.
YES if this device is on the local network.
The device type.
- Since
- 3.3
The device category, a string that uniquely identifies the type of device.
Cast devices have a category of kGCKCastDeviceCategory .
