Dado que cuentas con un conocimiento general de la transmisión, los diferentes tipos de remitentes y receptores, y qué plataformas son compatibles (consulta Descripción general del SDK de Cast), puedes comenzar a desarrollar apps con el SDK de Cast.
Prepárate para el desarrollo de Cast
Conecta tu dispositivo de transmisión y completa las instrucciones de configuración.
Abre la app de Google Home en el dispositivo emisor y sigue las instrucciones de configuración del dispositivo, o consulta la página de asistencia de la app de Google Home, que contiene vínculos a las instrucciones de configuración para todos los dispositivos compatibles con Google Cast.
Para otros dispositivos compatibles con Cast, consulta las instrucciones de configuración del fabricante.
Registra tu dispositivo compatible con Cast en la Consola para desarrolladores del SDK de Google Cast (esto es necesario si quieres usar el dispositivo para pruebas).
No intentes registrar tu dispositivo en Play Console sin antes completar el paso anterior.
Revisa los materiales de introducción sobre la plataforma específica y el tipo de app que estás implementando:
Para dispositivos Chromecast, incluidos los de Chromecast con Android TV y pantallas táctiles, consulta Android TV con Google Cast.
Si quieres usar Google Cast para dispositivos de audio, consulta Dispositivos de audio.
Decide qué tipo de receptor quieres usar.
Obtén las bibliotecas de API para las apps de remitente y receptor que quieres desarrollar:
Instrucciones de configuración de la biblioteca de API
Prueba las apps de ejemplo y los Codelabs. Las apps de ejemplo incluyen código que se puede compilar y ejecutar, mientras que los codelabs proporcionan una experiencia de programación guiada y práctica con instrucciones paso a paso.
Comprende el proceso de desarrollo
Ya estás listo para comenzar a desarrollar una app de Cast.
A continuación, se indican los pasos que debes seguir:
Los íconos de transmisión se incluyen en la IU del botón para transmitir de cada plataforma y en la biblioteca v7mediarouter de Android.
Si implementas un botón para transmitir personalizado y necesitas agregar los íconos de transmisión de forma manual, podrás descargarlos por separado. Este archivo ZIP incluye versiones para Android, iOS y la Web.

Connect your Cast device and complete the setup instructions.\n\n 1. For Google Cast-enabled devices:\n\n 1. [Download the Google Home app from the Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app) to an\n Android Sender device\n\n or [download the Google Home app from the Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/tc/app/google-home/id680819774)\n to an iOS Sender device.\n 2. Open the Google Home app on your Sender device and follow the\n setup prompts for your device, or consult the [Google Home app support page](https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7071794)\n which has links to setup instructions for all Google Cast-enabled\n devices.\n\n 2. For other Cast-enabled devices, please refer to the manufacturer's setup\n instructions.\n\n | **Note:** You must set up your Cast-enabled device and link it to a user account before you attempt to register it on the Developer Console in the next step.\n2. [Register](/cast/docs/registration#devices) your Cast-enabled device at the\n [Google Cast SDK Developer Console](https://cast.google.com/publish/#/overview)\n (**this is required in order to use the device for testing**).\n Do not attempt to register your device on the Developer Console without first completing the previous step.\n\n3. Review the introductory materials on the specific platform and type of app\n you're implementing:\n\n 1. For Chromecast devices, including Chromecast with Android TV and touch display devices, see [Android TV with Google Cast](/cast/docs/android_tv).\n 2. For Google Cast for audio devices, see [Audio Devices](/cast/docs/audio).\n4. Decide which type of Receiver you intend to use.\n\n5. Get the API libraries for the Sender and Receiver apps you intend to develop:\n\n | App Type | Web | iOS | Android |\n |----------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------:|:-----------------------------------------------:|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|\n | Sender | [Web Sender](/cast/docs/web_sender#setup) | [iOS Sender](/cast/docs/ios_sender#xcode_setup) | [Android Sender](/cast/docs/android_sender#prerequisites) |\n | Receiver | [Web Receiver](/cast/docs/web_receiver/basic#google_web_receiver_sdk) | n/a | [Android TV Receiver](/cast/docs/android_tv_receiver/core_features#configuring_libraries) |\n [API library setup instructions]\n\n \u003cbr /\u003e\n\n6. Try out the [Sample Apps](/cast/docs/sample_apps)\n and [Codelabs](/cast/codelabs). The sample apps feature working code that can\n be compiled and executed, while the codelabs provide a guided, hands-on coding\n experience with step-by-step instructions.\n\nUnderstand the development process\n----------------------------------\n\nAt this point, you're ready to get into the real work of developing a Cast app.\n\nBelow are the steps you need to follow:\n\n1. [Register](/cast/docs/registration) your Web and Android TV Receiver apps through the [Google Cast SDK Developer Console](https://cast.google.com/publish/#/overview).\n2. Review the [User Experience Guidelines](/cast/docs/ux_guidelines) to learn how to implement a UI that's consistent with other Cast apps.\n3. Review the [Google Cast app development guides](/cast/docs/overview#apidocs_table).\n4. Review the [API references](/cast/docs/reference).\n5. Develop your Web and/or Android TV Receiver apps.\n6. Regardless of the type of Web Receiver you plan to use, you will:\n 1. Develop your Sender app(s).\n 2. [Test](/cast/docs/testing) your Sender app(s).\n 3. [Test](/cast/docs/testing) your Sender app(s) with your Receiver app(s).\n\nInstall API libraries and configure your toolchain\n--------------------------------------------------\n\n| **Caution:** By accessing download links in the guides, you indicate that you have read and accepted the [Google APIs Terms of Service](https://developers.google.com/terms) and the [Google Cast SDK Additional Developer Terms of Service](/cast/docs/terms).\n\nFollow the instructions for each API that your apps will use:\n\n| | Web | iOS | Android |\n|----------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|\n| Sender | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [Setup for Developing with the Cast Application](/cast/docs/web_sender) | | [Web Sender API Reference](/cast/docs/reference/web_sender) | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [Setup for Developing With the Cast Application Framework (CAF) for iOS](/cast/docs/ios_sender) | | [iOS API Reference](/cast/docs/reference/ios) | | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [Setup for Developing with the Cast Application Framework (CAF) for Android](/cast/docs/android_sender) | | [Android API Reference](/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/cast/package-summary) | |\n| Receiver | |----------------------------------------------------| | [Web Receiver Overview](/cast/docs/web_receiver) | | [Web API Reference](/cast/docs/caf_receiver/basic) | | n/a | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [Android TV Receiver Overview](/cast/docs/android_tv_receiver) | | [Android API Reference](/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/cast/tv/package-summary) | |\n| n/a |\n\nDownload Cast icons (optional)\n------------------------------\n\nThe Cast icons are included in the Cast Button UI on each platform as well as in\nthe Android\n[v7mediarouter](http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/features.html#v7-mediarouter)\nlibrary.\nIf you're implementing a custom Cast button and you need to manually add the\nCast icons, they are available to [download](/static/cast/downloads/cast_icon_material.zip)\nseparately.
