Tubecast, the full featured YouTube app for Windows Phone, which also lets you cast video and audio to your TV, either via Chromecast or DLNA has just  received  an update to version 2.3.8.0.

The tent-pole feature is full support for Apple Airplay, including support for passwords.  The update should be perfect for mixed households, making the apps $1.99 in-app purchase price more than worth it.
