@feld Starting with the Pixel 10, "Android Quick Share" interoperates with "iOS AirDrop" but it is because someone bullied Apple into making AirDrop conform to the standard that Quick Share already uses. Nothing like that exists with AirPlay on Android, though. If the Sonos devices don't do Chromecast, maybe try straight-up Bluetooth?

@joe the Sonos One speakers don't do bluetooth either...

There are proxies that make Cast devices appear as AirPlay devices for Apple users, but the inverse does not appear to exist anywhere on the planet

@joe @feld

What standard is QuickShare?

@CapitalB @joe I think that is literally just AirDrop for Android; it's Android's branding of it

edit: OK it was Android's branding for the same functionality, but it wasn't originally using the AirDrop protocol. They just implemented AirDrop protocol too -- allegedly reverse engineered

@feld @CapitalB Android QuickShare was already using WiFi Aware (the standard that I was thinking of) and the EU forced Apple to adopt it for AirDrop. Apple was apparently using "Apple Wireless Direct Link" previously. Maybe they could get Apple to adopt more standards next? 🤷‍♂️

They didn't reverse engineer anything. They didn't really even need to change anything.

@joe @CapitalB thank you I had this feeling it was something like that but my searches came up empty. Thought I was hallucinating a memory of this
