Hi,
AFAICT, AirPlay is currently broken out of the box for recent iOS and Kodi combinations.
Easy reproduction steps:
1) Using ubuntu 18.04
2) Installed kodi w/ apt-get (17.6 Debian package version: 2:17.6+dfsg1-1ubuntu1)
3) Enabled zeroconf in kodi
4) Enabled airplay but disabled photo sharing in kodi
Go to podcasts app on iphone6s, iphonex, or on ipad, both iOS 12.1.1, kodi device does not show up on airplay menu.
I tried restarting kodi and the whole machine, I tried setting a password for airplay in kodi as well, none of this helped.
This seems consistent with the other threads I've found from the past few years, it seems it AirPlay never works for some people even when they follow these steps.
Can anyone get airplay to work on Ununtu using the reproduction steps above? If no, I vote to remove the AirPlay option so users aren't sinking time into this.
