Cast button window force closing

When I want to Chromecast to my Sony TV from the Xfinity Stream App (7.15.1.2686) on my iPad Air (IOS 17.4), I traditionally just press the cast button and select the device from the list. This evening for some reason, the cast window that opens immediately closes as if being forced closed. No time to even read the options, let alone select one (or even Airplay). Please help!

Thank you for reaching out to us here @user_ae947e. If you are still having issues with that streaming service I will be happy to look into that for you from here. Please send us a direct message with the full name and complete address for your service.

Ditto.  Thanks for posting this.  Other streaming services work fine.  Restarted, reloaded, and reconfigured everything in the chain with no success in fixing this glitch.   Instinct and similar past experience suggests that Comcast coders and quality assurance functions are struggling to keep up.

I accidentally found a work around,  I now have to turn the Ipad vertically and when I click the cast button, the drop down menu is available and I can now select the room I  would like to cast to.  This seems to be a device orientation issue for me anyway.  possibly a code issue?   If anyone has any suggestions, they are welcome.

wow! This has been bugging me for quite a while. Can confirm the workaround works on iPad mini 6 too.

Did anyone get a solution to this?  I really don't want to go through 15 layers of customer service for an hour if there is a general solution.

I am having same issue. Very frustrated. Have reached out to Comcast several times for help and no one can assist. Considering canceling and moving to new provider.
