Extend GCKUICastContainerViewController below the Home Indicator - google-cast

Question

I'm integrating GoogleCast to my app. Its root view controller is a UITabBarController, with a custom white tab bar.
After I wrapped it with a GCKUICastContainerViewController, the Home Indicator background area became black (and the indicator is white).
How can I make this Container VC extend its child VC (my tab bar controller) below the home indicator?
Note: There is an ugly workaround that I tried, which is to set castContainerVC.view.backgroundColor = .white. This would work if the tab bar was always visible, but some parts of my navigation stack may choose to hide it. When it happens, I'd end with a white Home Indicator area, but whatever color the presented view controller has above the indicator.

Answer 1

extension GCKUICastContainerViewController {
open override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
if let window = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow, miniMediaControlsViewController?.view.bounds.height ?? 0 == 0 {
contentViewController?.view.frame = window.frame
} else {
contentViewController?.view.frame = (view.subviews.first! as UIView).frame
}
}
}

Answer 2

Yes, it appears Google wants us to have the GCKUICastContainerViewController as the root view controller. And it looks like it has some layout issue when there is safe area inset at the bottom of the display.
I solved this by changing the view's frame manually in viewDidLayoutSubviews. You can do it with an extension like this
extension GCKUICastContainerViewController {
open override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
if let window = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow {
contentViewController?.view.frame = window.frame
}
}
}
This way you will get rid of the space at the bottom of the screen. Works for me.
