Our VoIP app already implements CallKit and Siri. So, within the iPhone, we can start calls using Siri. These are prerequisites for the CarPlay integration. Our deployment target is iOS 14, so to integrate CarPlay, the implementation of scenes is a requirement. However, our app should remain a single-window app. So, I've implemented scenes adding a single main scene. When I tap on my app in the CarPlay Simulator, it opens a blank window. Then, it crashes with the error: "Application does not implement CarPlay template application lifecycle methods in its scene delegate." All the third-party VoIP apps I've tried, instead of opening a window, ask you through Siri who you would like to call. So, it seems to be possible to avoid implementing a CarPlay template and just activate Siri. How can I obtain this behavior?

I am trying to make a voip car play app using siri let assistant = CPAssistantCellConfiguration(position: .top, visibility: .always, assistantAction: .startCall) let siriTmeplate = CPListTemplate(title: "Siri", sections: [sectionItems, loadingSection], assistantCellConfiguration: assistant) siriTmeplate.tabSystemItem = .recents siriTmeplate.showsTabBadge = false Using the above code gives me the error "Error: Intent of type INStartCallIntent is not supported for this app category" on app luanch I have INStartCallIntent in my apps info plist and I have all the entitlements and I have "business" as the app category, I can fine 0 help online with this. what does this error really mean and how can I fix it please

Hello, I am a product designer and I am currently working on a project that incorporates functionalities in CarPlay. Given the UI limitations that exist for app development with CarPlay, are there any pre-designed templates in Figma or any other resources that can be used to design the screens? This way, I can adhere to those templates knowing what the limits are. Thank you very much for your attention.

Hello, I am a product designer trying to understand the UI design limitations of CarPlay. Since CarPlay renders templates in a single way and there isn't any option to change any component, is there any way to see in the documentation how that component will look once rendered? For example, if I want to incorporate a primaryButton: CPTextButton? in my CPPointOfInterest. How could I know how each CPTextButtonStyle will be displayed? Is there an accessible place where I can check how each component will be visualized? Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am a product designer trying to understand the UI design limitations of CarPlay. I am designing a scene where a CPTabBarTemplate will appear. From what I can read in the CarPlay development documentation, I understand that it should be possible to assign a custom icon for each tab with tabImage: UIImage?, if I am not mistaken. However, any reference I have found always uses SF Symbols, which makes me wonder if they can actually be customized. And on the other hand, if they are customizable, could any PNG be used for the tab that might compromise the driver's safety? Thank you in advance.

Hi, We saw the next generation of CarPlay architecture in the WWDC24 video. It's so amazing and exciting! But in the latest CarPlay spec. R9 and Communication Plug-in R18A, we do not find information about the new capabilities such as the next generation CarPlay UIs and compositor. When can we get the documentation and codes for the next-generation CarPlay on the MFi Portal? Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to investigate if there is any way to have an app that displays an automaker app when the Carplay environment has the automaker protocol string, and displays a Carplay App (Driving Task) when there isn't the automaker protocol string. I was able to start developing an automaker app, but with an iOS16.0 deprecated method (with UIScreen Notifications), I'm not able to do it via the scene delegate... There is any kind of documentation of how to do it? I think the clue may be in the scene delegate with the property Preferred Default Scene Session Role, where I think the automaker app is a Window Application Session Role, but the scene delegate is not triggered when I open the Carplay App in the simulator. So am I missing something? Is there a way to do it or have I to publish two apps in order to use the two kind of carplay apps... ? Thank you very much.

I am working on a communications CarPlay app and am implementating a calling tab. I want to display calls that are missed in red text vs answered in the default text color. Is there a way to change the color of CPListItem.text or is this not allowed by design?
