Airplay to google devices

Google needs to work with apple to implement a way of being able to push songs directly from the Apple Music app on a iOS device to play on any nest hub, or speaker. 

currentley there is only a few workarounds one is to connect via Bluetooth to one device and then once connected then push the media to all speakers within a predetermined group. 

it’s ridiculous that using the Spotify app on an iPhone enables you to cast any song or video podcast to a speaker group and enables you to listen to whatever you want on any or all speaker. But you cannot do this at all in the Apple Music app. 

It’s also worth noting I’m fully aware that AirPlay IS NOT SUPPORTED with google devices. But why can’t google implement google cast to work with Apple Music. Just as it does with Spotify, this would enable all iOS users to cast music or video to a speaker group without issue.

APPLE needs to be the one to update their app to enable casting from their Apple Music app.

Google published the standard and lets any developer use it.

The reason you can do this from Spotify is that Spotify did the work to update their app.

Keep in mind, it is the app/service that actually casts.  Google doesn't have to do anything more.

And has anyone at all from google reached out to Apple to ask them/ offer to work with them to implement this into an update of Apple Music.
