FCast is an open source casting protocol and receiver by FUTO, used as the cast target by Grayjay among others. The receiver runs on Android TV and Google TV devices, so a launcher button is useful on the same remotes Firemote already supports. Package names come from the receiver's build.gradle: the base applicationId is com.futo.fcast.receiver, and the Play Store product flavor appends the suffix .playstore. Devices that install from the Play Store therefore use com.futo.fcast.receiver.playstore, while a sideloaded build keeps the base id. The launcher activity is .MainActivity in both cases, since applicationIdSuffix does not rename the class. The logo is the receiver's own mark, taken from the FCast app, in white on the brand blue #0a62f5 - the same arrangement the app icon uses.
