Here my advice: Don't focus only on mobile.

For the huge amount of money that you request, you should also support Windows and macOS at the beginning.

For sure that you will increase your target audience. Probably I would be one of the Pledge AU$ 500 users.

You made the same mistake with WebView and when you saw that is important with the sucess with other free ANE, you tryed to run behind the damage but was to late.

Thanks for your feedback.

Unfortunately there is no macOS or windows SDK for Chromecast. The main purpose of Chromecast is to extend from a mobile device to a larger screen. There is a Chrome SDK however integrating that with AIR is not something we've considered and along with that we have only received requests for mobile implementations of this extension.

We do understand that there is a need for windows and macOS implementations and we are currently in progress of extending several of our existing ANEs to support those platforms. However we also get significantly more requests for mobile ANEs than desktop so from our perspective the need is greater in the mobile environment.

Regards,

Michael

OK, I understand.

If you got more request for mobile, you should do what is better for you.

I never considered such ANE before because I never thought on that possibility (sometimes we can create new needs for customers).

For example, have such an ANE on desktop would be magnificent for presentations without HDMI cables to TV's or bad quality of projectors and also for customers with their own final customers !

I gladly pay a good money for such an ANE for desktop (Windows + macOS) but ok, if I have much for requests for mobile it can multiplicy for you.

Good luck for your ANE and the kickstarter.

Cheers,

Hugo.
