iOS device - iPhone, iPad etc. as an audio playback device

The platform Roon develop on (xamarin) is the issue apparently. Quite what and why it’s taken them (xamarin) so long to fix it only Roon/xamarin can tell us. I know it’s a priority for Roon so it can’t be an easy fix…

If xamarin/microsoft can’t provide a fix soon, perhaps Roon could consider writing a native iOS app that is only a RAAT end-point with simple controls. Keep the remote separate. Not ideal, but it would be better than nothing.

There has been no public announcement about implementation of Output under iOS. To avoid people re-discovering this thread and asking if the position has changed we will close the thread pending such change. When an announcement is made we will link it here also.

Version 9.3 of the iPeng app now enables play to an iPad Zone from Roon as a Squeezebox server. You must purchase the iPeng app ($8.99) and the in app Play upgrade ($4.99) and enable Squeezebox support in Roon. This is a third-party app not a Roon implementation, but it is working well for me.

This was added to Roon in 1.4:
