Conversation
The broadcast extension sends video to its newest tcp client, so a second screencapture, or a screenrecord started while a capture was live, stole or restarted the stream. Real iOS devices now own a single avc source per device (devices/avc_hub.go) that fans the same bytes out to every subscriber: one goes to disk as mp4, one goes to the websocket/WebRTC consumer. - first subscriber starts the broadcast; later ones attach to it and their scale/fps/quality/bitrate are ignored - a late joiner gets a key frame request and starts at the head of the next key frame (SPS, PPS, timecode SEI), failing after 5s if none arrives - a slow subscriber is dropped instead of stalling the others - the source stops when the last subscriber leaves and restarts cleanly - Ctrl-C or a stop request detaches only that subscriber Android and simulators are unchanged.

Signal readiness when cancellation occurs before OnReady. IOSDevice.StartScreenCapture passes config.StopChan to avcHub.subscribe. When cancellation occurs while awaitFirstChunk waits, subscribe returns h.detach(sub, nil), which can return nil. screenRecordAvc calls req.signalReady only from OnReady or when StartScreenCapture returns an error. Therefore, req.Ready can receive no result. Return or signal a cancellation error on this path.

Apply the requested AVC bitrate before streaming.
ScreenCaptureConfig.Bitrate is passed by the real-iOS capture callers, but startAvcStream does not apply it. The shared AVC source therefore keeps the existing encoder bitrate. After assigning d.avcStreamConn, apply SetAvcBitrate when config.Bitrate > 0, before the source signals readiness. A zero bitrate must retain the documented default.

Summary
On real iOS devices the broadcast extension sends video to its newest TCP client. A second
screencapture, or ascreenrecordstarted while a capture was live (the normal case in production: WebRTC stream + recording), stole or restarted the stream.This adds one AVC source per device (
devices/avc_hub.go) that fans the same bytes out to every consumer — one to disk as mp4, one to the websocket/WebRTC consumer.errAvcNoKeyFrameafter 5s instead of hanging, andOnReadyonly fires once it has video.errAvcSubscriberTooSlow) instead of stalling the disk writer.ScreenCaptureConfig.StopChan).StartScreenCapturekeeps its blocking contract, so the three call sites are unchanged. mobilefleet-client needs no changes. Android, simulators and remote devices are untouched.Test plan
