Everything here came out of running an iPhone and an Android tablet as extended screens at the same time. Most of it had been broken for a while without being obvious with only one device connected.
Fixed
- Compatibility Mode showed a copy of your Mac's screen instead of the extra desktop, and the pointer was missing on the receiver. Both are fixed. If you had it switched on, this is the big one.
- Compatibility Mode is now set per device. Watching protected video on one screen no longer costs every other screen its sound.
- Audio now says when Compatibility Mode is blocking it, instead of looking switched on and quietly sending nothing.
- Two receivers no longer draw on top of each other in Overview, and taps land where you touch after macOS rearranges the displays.
- One wireless screen can no longer starve another. A device that backs off now keeps its share instead of handing it to the device that never does. If your Android stuttered while an iPhone was connected, try this build.
- An Android on the cable appears as one device offering USB, rather than turning up as a second entry in the list.
- Switch a connected Android between USB, ADB Wi-Fi and direct Wi-Fi. It used to be a two-way toggle that assumed you had a cable.
- The arrow in the installer window no longer disappears behind the Applications folder.
New
- Pick the codec before you connect, not only afterwards.
- Dim an individual receiver from its own settings, without changing your Mac's brightness.
Notes
If several wireless screens still feel uneven, two things help more than anything in this release: lower Quality from Ultra, and put the Android on a USB cable. A Mac has one Wi-Fi radio, and AWDL peer-to-peer shares it with your normal network — a cable takes that device out of the contest entirely.
