For chromecast to work as intended, you need to have a web server that is hosting/serving your image and use the URL that the web server provides there. If your images are somewhere in the cloud, that should be trivial; if images are on your phone, then you need to embed a local web server in your phone sender app and use that to serve the images and pass the URL based on what your web server provides.

how to send the image to the custom receiver iOS Ali can you please give me any idea.For any reply thanks – Nishat Alam Jul 04 '16 at 12:16
Receiver does not depend on whether you are using iOS or Android or chrome sender. I suggest you use the Default or a Styled receiver instead of a custom one to make narrow down where your problem is. – Ali Naddaf Jul 04 '16 at 14:42

First, try to use the Default Receiver to make sure you can show at least one image and then you can work on your own receiver. In addition, if I recall correctly, the content id is just the url with no "query" parameters; receiver will ignore those so the token that you have is not going to work for you. Again, I suggest first make it work with a publicly available image and once that worked, move to more complicated case. – Ali Naddaf Jul 05 '16 at 19:47
Default Receiver is working fine to display the one image but i want to use custom receiver because my app allows slide show image on the TV. Can i use Styled Media Receiver for display the slide show image ALI.Thanks for any help. – Nishat Alam Jul 06 '16 at 03:55
