GCKDiscoveryManager not founding Chromecast devices iOS SDK

I'm trying to find Chromecast devices with my iOS App.

I've downloaded cast SDK via CocoaPods, and then I try the following:

let gckCastOptions = GCKCastOptions(receiverApplicationID: kGoogleCastAppReceiverId)
        GCKCastContext.setSharedInstanceWithOptions(gckCastOptions)
        GCKLogger.sharedInstance().delegate = self

        self.discoveryManager = GCKCastContext.sharedInstance().discoveryManager
        self.discoveryManager!.addListener(self)
        self.discoveryManager!.passiveScan = true
        self.discoveryManager!.startDiscovery()

And then, in the listener method:

func didStartDiscoveryForDeviceCategory(deviceCategory: String) {
        print("GCKDiscoveryManagerListener: \(deviceCategory)")

        print("FOUND: \(self.discoveryManager!.hasDiscoveredDevices)")
    }

Result is always false :(

On my Mac, when I open YouTube, I can stream video to Chromecast device, so device is set definitely.

I am testing on simulator? Should I try it on real device? I suppose that this is not necessary since I'm only trying to discover the available devices.

I've tried to add GCKDeviceScanner too, no luck. I suppose that this is the starting point.

Tried to add GCKUICastButton via storyboard - not being able to do it :(

Have a look to this setting. As soon as I enabled it it started working

Also, please make sure you set another kReceiverAppID other than the given example (AABBCCDD), for example we are using the one listed on the example app, for example static NSString *const kReceiverAppID = @"4F8B3483" (I guess you need to make your own at Google Play Developer Console)

And finally, you can be pretty sure it will never work on a simulator, you need REAL device for this.
