I just need to use screen mirroring on enabled device when I click the button on my app screen. There is an airplay button in my app, clicking on which will check for available mirroring devices such as tv or laptop but I don't think it is for screen mirroring. I want to call screen mirroring in my app (I want to use mirroring not casting) on that screen.

I don't know Objective-c well, so please use swift if you use example code. Thanks.

Please check below, this might help you to understand how currently apps are achieving this.

Screen Mirroring iPhone to smart TV

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

    let routePickerView = AVRoutePickerView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 30.0, width: 30.0, height: 30.0))
    routePickerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.lightGray
    self.view.addSubview(routePickerView)

    let avAsset = AVAsset(url: URL(string: "https://sample-videos.com/video123/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_1mb.mp4")!)
    let avPlayerItem = AVPlayerItem(asset: avAsset)
    let avPlayer = AVPlayer(playerItem: avPlayerItem)
    let avPlayerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: avPlayer)
    avPlayerLayer.frame = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 40.0, width: self.view.frame.size.width, height: self.view.frame.size.height - 40.0)
    self.view.layer.addSublayer(avPlayerLayer)
    avPlayer.seek(to: CMTime.zero)
    avPlayer.play()
}

This code shows a player and adds the ability to mirror ONLY the player into the Mac screen.

    I meant screen mirroring not streaming. I think that is streaming. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204289 This site explains the difference between mirroring and streaming. Thanks :) – jane kim Feb 17 '22 at 00:08
