I have this issue while connecting to chromecast. I've gone back to the previous code, and I still have the same issue, so something must have changed with chromecast. When I click my chromecast device to connect to "Sankey", this is when the crash occurs. Image below: crash occurs when "Sankey" is clicked

Research on this has pointed to a problem with the manifest, and not declaring the app_id properly. Below is my manifest file which shows this, and also the google play services version.

    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID"
        android:value="@string/control_panel_app_id" />
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Here is the declarations in strings.xml with last 4 digits blocked out:

string name="control_panel_app_id" translatable="false">75468636XXXX

Checking the logs in vicinity of the crash has not given me any useful information.

My app was previously running cast SDK v1. I had two options to fix it: 1) wait approximately 3 months until google updated their gms code. 2) upgrade to cast v2.

I chose option 2.

Upgrading to cast v2 was done by the following:

  1. change gradle files, so everything referencing any part of google play is version 11.0.0. ex: com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:11.0.0
  2. required deleting references to "AppStateManager" in GameHelper.java (this is not necessary for cast, but was part of my project).
  3. required changing minSdkVersion from 11 to 14 :(
  4. in gradle file(s), update compileSdkVersion to 25, and buildToolsVersion to 25.0.2

Hope this helps someone out.

You may refer in this link. Make sure that you have it inside <application> tag. Also make sure that you are using the correct App ID. Here's how. Hope this helps!
