To use this dependency in your project, the following packages are needed.

1. 'react'
2. 'react-native'

Mostly automatic installation

Modify MainApplication.java

import com.connectsdk.discovery.DiscoveryManager;
import com.connectsdk.discovery.DiscoveryProvider;
import com.connectsdk.service.DeviceService;

  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    DiscoveryManager.init(getApplicationContext());
    try {
      DiscoveryManager.getInstance().registerDeviceService((Class<DeviceService>) Class.forName("com.connectsdk.service.CastService"), (Class<DiscoveryProvider>)Class.forName("com.connectsdk.discovery.provider.CastDiscoveryProvider"));
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
      Log.d("CHROME","CHROME CAST NOT REGISTERED");
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    ...

Amazon FireTv Casting works only when targetSdk is set to 29 or below.

To get the devices list. you need to add listeners

'deviceList' for list of devices

'duration' for duration
