    It has to be released on Apple products before Sonos can release it. Airplay2 does not even exist yet.

    That’s an excellent question.

    In my time I’ve had engineers/coders work on a moving target before, and had a lot of wasted effort as the API provided continued to change. On the other hand, my team was able to supply the other company with a plethora of feedback that helped make the new API better, and the time from when the API went ‘gold’ and we were able to release was significantly shorter. But I have wondered what other more useful work could have been done while we were iterating on the early codebase.

    I honestly think it depends on a multitude of possibilities, none of which I am privy to. 😉

      Now that I have AirPlay 2 enabled on iOS and tvOS betas, this would be great to test with Sonos if a beta exists. I like having access to my Apple TVs with airplay 2, but Sonos support is really what I’ve been waiting for.

      I agree if we are adopters of the iOS beta’s , we are the type of people to accept a Sonos beta program and feedback issues to help all bearing in mind what bugs we would be faced with.

      iOS 11.4 developer beta was released on 16th April. Airplay 2 was included again and my guess is Sonos will start working on it now.

      Or wait to see if it's included in the actual release, instead of being pulled out just before the actual release, like it has for the last 2 betas from Apple.
