Is it possible to cast to a Samsung 8 Series TV?
I can successfully cast from my YouTube app on Google Pixel 3 to the TV, but not with any other apps that allow casting to Google Chromecast. I guess Samsung 8 Series does not feature built-in Chromecast, but why can I cast YouTube then? Because the TV has a YouTube app?
I guess your TV is using DIAL protocol. You can find some info here

TL;DR: Can I capture an iPhone's screen from my macOS application?
I've been searching for any APIs on macOS to to capture the screen of an iPhone that's connected to the computer, but haven't found any. Are there such public API's?
I've looked at SonOfGrab-example from apple, but that's only for processes running on the "current" computer from what I can figure out.
I want to do what QuickTime does when it records from the device, however I want to do it programmatically, by getting the image or a video stream of what's showing on the iPhone.
I want to record a video of my application which is running on my iPhone and use it for Replay. How can I do that?
I was searching for this and could't find any solution.
Your only options are:
1. Run the app in the simulator and use any screen capture tool for mac to record a video
2. Fix the iPhone on a pod/stand and record video of you app with another camera
If the app does not have any feature which is available only on the device i would avoid option no 2, because iPhone's glossy screen shows all kinds of reflections and the user's hand in the video is really annoying..
Well, if your phone is a 4S you can get a dongle from Apple that outputs the video as a HD stream. The dongle lets you plug in a HDMI cable, so you would need some way to capture that output.
If you go on http://www.africam.com/wildlife/tembe_webcam you can see theirs a live video stream in flash format. I need to know if it's possible to play that live stream on the iPhone.
And if possible, is there any API I need to know about?
Yes FMS 4.5 supprts streaming to iOS http://www.adobe.com/products/flash-media-streaming.html

You need to use the specific cable for your model iPhone and model TV for this to work. Also it is not a exact mirror of your iPhone it uses only photo apps and video apps.

I found a cable which one can use to connect IPhone to TV to watch videos stored in IPhone on TV. I wonder can I use this cable in a way to stream data from other devices to iphone and write an iphone app to seek the stream to play audio/video in iphone?
The Cable.
I am not sure where to go to read about the behavior of this cable as how t works. A help would be appreciated.
No. You won't be able to do that due to API limitations.
The cable is a copy of the original "Apple Composite AV Cable":

The only thing you can do with the cable in addition to playing videos, is to show a UIView or your complete app on a TV. To clone your complete app you can use the TVOutManager:

I use the TVOutManager in my app and I am very happy with it :-)
