AirServer, AppleTV support only certain iPhones models and iPads. However, iPod touch 4th generation is supported but only for certain applications (e.g. YouTube).

I had asked a very similar question which has been closed, and has been voted for re-open. With this question I would like to focus on the programming side of the question.

Is it possible to add some code to my iPod touch 4 Cocos2D app to enable the App mirrowing?

I found some reference and UIScreen has the mirrored property but I am a bit confused because the Apple store assitant said that iPod 4 generation has a different chip that doesn't allow the mirrowing. I thought that this was not true because is actually possible to mirrow Youtube, as well as by jailbraking the iPod 4 it should be possible too.

I am in the hunt of a tutorial-guide to enable this for my Cocos2D iPod 4 app. With iPhone 4S onwards this should be possible without adding any code but the issue that I want to solve is for iPod 4.

Airplay mirroring is an iOS 5 feature and available when the user selects it. This feature is not available on iPod Touch 4.

To connect to Apple TV refer to this guide where the minimum requirements (iPhone 4S, iPad 2) are also listed.

  • Thanks. Is this a software or hardware reason? Will it be different for iPod touch 5? – mm24 Sep 20 '12 at 15:59

    I'm not involved in the development of Apple devices, so I don't know. If I were, I couldn't say. :) – CodeSmile Sep 20 '12 at 19:03
