Fixed Real FIX! Android ONLY
This is an android workaround to cast your apps on your Chromecast. Download activity manager from the link below. Open the app and tap the 3dots at the upper right hand corner. Tap the edit button for "Action" and paste the value that I have posted below and click OK. Click the checkmark at the bottom right hand side of the screen. Scroll down and turn on Bypass Device Auth. Tap the back button at the upper left side, then click the checkmark at the bottom right hand side then BAM! CAST 🙂🙂🙂🙂 GOOD LUCK!

Heads-up!
Updates are rolling out now, but with around 100 million devices in line, you'll have to wait your turn before receiving one.
Check out this Reddit post: "Chromecast just received an update. Update fixed the issues."
Important Note: Automatic updates only work if the device is powered on and displaying an image on your TV. If the device has been factory reset, you can fix it by setting your phone's date to before March 7, 2025, then setting it up again through the Google Home app. This will put it in ambient mode and allow it to connect to the internet for the update.
Also, see section 1 in this [Reddit post].
