Jailbreak App Enables AirPlay In All iOS Apps

By Matthew Chung on 11/26/2010 17:11 PDT

Apple’s AirPlay feature that allows you to wirelessly stream videos or audio to compatible devices is a useful one, though it would be much better if it worked with more apps. The good news is that folks out there are hard at work to make it happen, and have discovered that only a single line of code blocks you from doing so. With that in mind, a developer named Zone-MR has come up with the AirVideoEnabler, a hack that is available for download in Cydia for jailbroken devices, bringing AirPlay to all apps, such as VLC and Safari. Will Apple move to block this in the future, or has the fruity company disabled the feature because of some unmentioned issue? Video demonstration after the jump.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
