ChromeCast device doesn't find custom receiver APP

Question

I'm using a custom receiver + using this API (https://github.com/entertailion/DIAL) to connect to Google Cast Device.

This works fine for the sample app TicTacToe, e.g querying http://MYIP:8008/apps/TicTacToe I get the status of the service. Also it works fine for Youtube, Netflix, however for my own app I get a 404 when I try to execute a HTTP GET http://MYIP:8008/apps/APPID.

I have whitelisted my device + setting the APP ID (according to the new SDK rules, it's composed out of several literals and numerals without any delimiter between them) in my GET query,

From what I can gather it looks like the Google Cast Device doesn't have it's table updated with my own App ID, altough I rebooted the device several times in the past hours.

The WebServer I'm hosting my HTML5 app is an internal server, unknown outside of the network.

How can I make sure that my app will get synched with the my ChromeCast device?

DIAL was used in the preview SDK, the official SDK now is not using DIAL anymore, so you should not either; it will not work unless you use the new SDK apis on the sender side as well.
