AirPlay via AirPort Express not working with iOS 18

I have an old AirPort Express connected to a stereo receiver to support AirPlay to the receiver. This setup has worked fine for many years. It seems it has broken with iOS 18. The AirPort Express is no longer listed as an AirPlay destination on devices upgraded to 18 (both iPhone and iPad)

It continues to work with my MBP running Sequoia and on another iPhone that has not been updated to 18.

Anybody else experiencing the same type of problem?

My collection of AirPort Express routers stopped working reliably for me some time ago and have been lying unused on a shelf for years now.

I’m traveling now for the next two weeks and can’t test it until then, but I will and report here. My current AirPort gear must be 15 years old now and have been the most dependable pieces of technology I’ve ever owned. I’ve replaced one hard drive and that’s been it for problems.

Thanks in advance for a test. I agree… this thing just keeps on working. Well, until a software update (maybe) kills it!!

I may have to revive an old iPhone I have laying around to serve as a media player.
