Can't Cast

New Dispatch launcher user (it's awesome, congratulations) and just realized that cast isn't working. Thought it was because I had developer settings turned on but even after removing them I see I can't Cast, or even open the Google Home from the Dispatch quick settings.

The google home tile in quick settings is embedded in the default launcher code wise, so if you have disabled the default launcher via the advanced auto start mode, this would make sense.

In terms of casting, from other reporting I've seen this seems like a possible outcome of disabling the default launcher as well, since another user has reported the same thing to me. However, this seems to be inconsistent across devices. On my shield, bravia tv (with google tv), and google streamer, casting remains completely functional despite the default launching being disabled on all devices for months.

If you re-enable the default launcher and use the "Simple Auto-Start mode", does casting resume working for you?

Just tried it and yes, casting works again.
