Feature Request: Airplay on Roku Devices

Any update on Airplay 2 coming to Roku? There were numerous articles about it earlier this month. Anxious for this to be a thing! (also would love to see iTunes come to Roku)
Apple AirPlay

    At this time, no Roku supports Air Play. There is talk about support for Air Play 2 coming, but nothing firm has been released yet.

If you want AirPlay 2, upgrade from Roku to a Smart TV, or a different streaming player (Amazon Fire TV or Android TV), Keep in mind, though, that AirPlay 2 for Amazon Fire TV and Android TV are developed by third party companies, unfortunately, but fortunately, AirPlay 2 for Smart TVs isn’t, instead, it is officially developed by Apple Inc.

For Roku streaming players, an alternative to AirPlay 2 is called Mirror for Roku, unfortunately developed by third party company iStreamer.

An alternative wireless streaming player to the official Apple branded Lightning adapter is called Chromecast, developed and manufactured by Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, Inc. since it supports Apple devices with iOS operating system.
