Chromecast App Receiver

Info

We are currently developing an iOS and Android application that will replace NewSpring's current apps. The current app supports video playback on a Chromecast, but we have not added that feature to the new app yet. We use Ooyala for our video streaming. Their new HTML5 player has support for Chromecasting, so their examples are hopefully good.

The way Chromecasting works is like this:

Client finds Chromecast on network
Client sends request to stream to Chromecast with registered ID

Post-mortem 8/8/2016 - 8/9/2016

Summary

my.newspring.cc was experiencing an issue loading the Give portion of the site which started about 9:30 PM on August 8 until it was resolved around 9:30 AM on August 9. During this time, you may have just seen loading indicators on the site. Several breakdowns happened which led to the error itself, and our not being notified of the error until the morning of August 9. We have identified these issues, and are currently taking steps to prevent them from happening in the future.

Technical Details

We currently manage accounts which can be given to in Rock. These accounts are queried by my.newspring.cc through our GraphQL server, which we call Heighliner. Heighliner fetches the accounts by making a direct connection to the MSSQL database. Specifically, it queries for accounts which have a PublicDescription by eliminating the ones whose PublicDescription is set to NULL. However, this was insufficient because accounts have a default PublicDescription o

App startup

Start on iOS is comparable to other apps I use. 3-4 seconds.
Problem mostly seems to be Android.
Meteor waits until ddp connection made before closing launch screen. We don't need to do that.
Try upgrading crosswalk plugin.
Maybe the launch screen plugin?

Code splitting?

React Views in React Native

Here is the dream:

import { 
  View,
  Component,
} from "react-native";
// plugin that supports regular react components

	function* login() {
	const currentState = yield select();
	const { data } = currentState.accounts;

	if (data.email && data.password) {
	const { email, password } = data;

	// set the UI to show the loading screen
	yield put(actions.loading());

	async loadFromStorage() {
	try {
	const value = await AsyncStorage.getItem(STORAGE_KEY);
	if (value !== null) {
	this.setState({
	api_key: value
	});
	}
	} catch (error) {
	console.log(`AsyncStorage error: ${error.mesage}`);

	const styles = StyleSheet.create({
	container: {
	flex: 1,
	justifyContent: 'center',
	alignItems: 'center',
	backgroundColor: '#002b36',
	},
	});

	render() {

	launch build myapp.com
	launch galaxy myapp.com
	launch testflight
