Hello, When my mobile app is terminated, say 30 secs later the CarPlay app stops working. I don't get the access token that is saved in the KeyChain. The same happens when my mobile app is in background for more than 20 secs or so. Please suggest the way forward. Or is this the expected behavior?

I have CarPlay enabled for my app (CarPlay Audio App (CarPlay framework), CarPlay Audio App (Media Player framework)) and the lessons I'm following suggest I need to add CarPlay as an application extension to my app in Xcode (My Project -> Targets -> My App -> '+' -> iOS Application Extension) but CarPlay is not an option as an extension. Has this step been deprecated or am I missing something in Xcode (this is my first app so yeah there's that).

My app crashed on iOS 18.1 only, here is the crash log: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'BUG IN CLIENT OF UIKIT: <CPTemplateApplicationScene: 0x1114bb780> -[UIScene _registerSettingsDiffActionArray:forKey:]: Registering the scene itself results in a retain cycle.' And I found this post: https://mastodon.social/@marcoarment/113280078320422999 Is this a system bug in iOS 18.1 beta 5?

I read this doc and find some key info. https://developer.apple.com/carplay/documentation/CarPlay-App-Programming-Guide.pdf CarPlay app entitlements All CarPlay apps require a CarPlay app entitlement that matches your app type. To request a CarPlay app entitlement, go to http://developer.apple.com/carplay and provide information about your app, including the type of entitlement that you are requesting. You also need to agree to the CarPlay Entitlement Addendum. Apple will review your request. If your app meets the criteria for a CarPlay app, Apple will assign a CarPlay app entitlement to your Apple Developer account and notify you. But I still have questions about the old and new CarPlay. // About account permission I have 2 Apple developer accounts. Account A (normal dev account): Here our app already supports the old-style CarPlay UI. (before iOS14) And I can see there are "CarPlay Messaging App" and "CarPlay VoIP Calling App" in the "Additional Capabilities" tab in my Identifier. Account B (Enterprise account): I can see there is a "CarPlay Communication App" in the "Additional Capabilities" tab in my Identifier. But I don't know (or don't remember) if I have requested this new CarPlay entitlement for this account. Quesiton 1: If I want to refactor my current CarPlay app (from old UI to new UI [iOS14 support]), Do I need to request the CarPlay entitlement for Account A? Because I can not find the "CarPlay Communication App" in Account A portal(or via Xcode). // About New CarPlay UI In the old UI, there are just 2 buttons showing after user tap the App icon now. One is for message and the other one is for VoIP call. But I can see only one VoIP call button in the new CarPlay UI, no seperated message button. Question2: Can I add a message button? If no, how to implement a similiar user experience. Thanks.

We are currently working on a CarPlay navigation app and so far everything is working well except for speaking turn notifications. Our TTS implementation works fine on the phone and works fine on CarPlay if the voice is spoken over the speaker in the car. If users connect a BT headset to the car and listen through that headset, then the voice commands are chopped up / stutter. Why would users use BT headset? Well, we are working on a motorcycle app, and there are no speakers usually on a motorcycle. It sounds like the BT channel is opened and closed repeatedly for every character / word spoken. This happens on different CarPlay devices and different Bluetooth headsets, we have reports from multiple users that they find this behavior annoying and that other apps work fine. Is this a known issue? Are there possible workaround?
