AirPlay2 protocol

This page collects information on parts of AirPlay2 protocol. It could be useful if Apple drops "legacy" protocol support.

• Here is a description of the initial "Legacy Pairing" protocol (pair-pin-start + pair-setup-pin + pair-verify) and (pair-setup + pair-verify) implemented in Uxplay

• Here are other links to information on pair-pin-setup for modern AirPlay2 pairing with encrypted client-server communication.
