# Streaming and AirPlay Stream content wirelessly to other devices using AirPlay, and handle requests involving FairPlay-protected assets. ## Topics ### Essentials [Supporting AirPlay in your app](/documentation/AVFoundation/supporting-airplay-in-your-app) Set up your app to use AirPlay to send content wirelessly. ### Route selection [`AVRouteDetector`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVRouteDetector) An object that detects available media playback routes. ### Buffered playback [Implementing simple enhanced buffering for your content](/documentation/AVFoundation/implementing-simple-enhanced-buffering-for-your-content) Configure your app for simple enhanced buffering to stream content faster to AirPlay-enabled devices and supported CarPlay vehicles. [Implementing flexible enhanced buffering for your content](/documentation/AVFoundation/implementing-flexible-enhanced-buffering-for-your-content) Configure your app for flexible enhanced buffering to stream content faster to AirPlay-enabled devices and supported CarPlay vehicles. [Integrating AirPlay for long-form video apps](/documentation/AVFoundation/integrating-airplay-for-long-form-video-apps) Integrate AirPlay features and implement a dedicated external playback experience by preparing the routing system for long-form video playback. ### Resource loading [`AVAssetResourceLoader`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVAssetResourceLoader) An object that mediates resource requests from a URL asset. [`AVAssetResourceLoaderDelegate`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVAssetResourceLoaderDelegate) Methods you can implement to handle resource-loading requests coming from a URL asset. [`AVAssetResourceLoadingRequest`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVAssetResourceLoadingRequest) An object that encapsulates information about a resource request from a resource loader object. [`AVAssetResourceRenewalRequest`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVAssetResourceRenewalRequest) An object that encapsulates information about a resource request from a resource loader to renew a previously issued request. [`AVAssetResourceLoadingRequestor`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVAssetResourceLoadingRequestor) An object that contains information about the originator of a resource-loading request. [`AVAssetResourceLoadingDataRequest`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVAssetResourceLoadingDataRequest) An object for requesting data from a resource that an asset resource-loading request references. [`AVAssetResourceLoadingContentInformationRequest`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVAssetResourceLoadingContentInformationRequest) A query for retrieving essential information about a resource that an asset resource-loading request references. ### FairPlay streaming [`AVContentKeySession`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVContentKeySession) An object that creates and tracks decryption keys for media data. [`AVContentKeySessionDelegate`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVContentKeySessionDelegate) A protocol that handles content key requests. [`AVContentKey`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVContentKey) An object that represents the content key decryptor. [`AVContentKeySpecifier`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVContentKeySpecifier) An object that uniquely identifies a content key. [`AVContentKeyRequest`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVContentKeyRequest) An object that encapsulates information about a content decryption key request issued from a content key session object. [`AVPersistableContentKeyRequest`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVPersistableContentKeyRequest) An object that encapsulates information about a persistable content decryption key request issued from a content key session. [`AVContentKeyResponse`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVContentKeyResponse) An object that encapsulates information about a response to a content decryption key request. [`AVExternalContentProtectionStatus`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVExternalContentProtectionStatus) Constants that specify whether sufficient protection exists to display the content. [`AVSampleBufferAttachContentKey(_:_:_:)`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVSampleBufferAttachContentKey(_:_:_:)) Attaches a content key to a sample buffer for the purpose of content decryption. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
