I’m using an ipad4, iphone12. AirPlay worked fine until update 18.4. Resetting connections doesn’t help. Can see TV when clicked on in AirPlay but keeps searching and then stops. TV is new Samsung Neo QLED. Everything is on the same network. Did not update iPhone to iOS 18.4 and the AirPlay works fine!

iPad Air, iPadOS 18
FIX BELOW:
After updating to iPadOS 18.4, many users—including those with iPad Air 4—have experienced AirPlay issues where their TV shows up in the list, but the connection either hangs or fails. This is likely due to a bug in iPadOS 18.4 that affects AirPlay’s ability to maintain connections, even when devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Your iPhone (still on an earlier version of iOS) working fine confirms this is a software issue on the iPad. The Samsung Neo QLED TV is compatible with AirPlay, so it’s not the problem unless its firmware is out of date.
To fix it, first try fully powering off both the iPad and the TV (not just restarting) to clear any cached permissions. Make sure your TV’s firmware is fully up to date via its settings menu. You should also reset your iPad’s network settings (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Reset Network Settings) and reconnect to Wi-Fi. Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi band (preferably 5 GHz), and temporarily disable any VPNs. If AirPlay still doesn’t work, the issue is most likely tied to the iPadOS update, and a fix may come in the next patch (like 18.4.1). Until then, using your iPhone for AirPlay may be the best temporary workaround.
My Yamaha receiver has worked perfectly until I updated IOS to 18.4.
Now it is not on the list anymore when I press an AirPlay icon
Same since my did the update n my iPhone 14 Pro mine stopped working!!!!
Updating to 18.4.1 didn’t solve the issue, unfortunately. Should I visit a service center?
Still not working after did the new update 18.4.1
EVEN 18.4.1 didn’t fix it!

My AirPlay shows black screen and only audio works when connected to Roku express TV , I’m I the only one ?
18.4.1 - same problem
Apple! AirPlay still not working under iOS 18.4.1. Any updates?
Unfortunately does not work. Can mirror but not full screen and when switched to AirPlay only mentions AirPlay is connected but does not play
SAME HERE IS THERE A FIX
Same here! What to do? I even tried my old iPad with the same tv and it worked fine. This phone has so many issues
OMG!!! Why didn't they just say this earlier!!!! Thank you!!!!
Use screen mirroring.
So Apple apparently wants me to move to android because if AirPlay doesn’t work, it literally removes 25% of the utility of my phone.
AirPlay still does not work on my iPhone 12pro max it did before I updated,updated to 18.4.1 still don’t work come on Apple something so simple I think I might have to buy a Samsung this ridiculous….
