carplay-audio entitlement missing from provisioning profile
When I download my provisioning profile I can't find the com.apple.developer.carplay-audio entitlement in it. Here's what I did: For our app identifier on Apple Developer Portal in "Additional Capabilities" I enabled "CarPlay Audio App (CarPlay framework)". After that I generated a provisioning profile and downloaded it. In the provisional profile info on Apple Developer Portal I can see "CarPlay Audio App (CarPlay framework)" in "Enabled Capabilities". When I import the downloaded profile in Xcode, I can't see the CarPlay entitlement there. After I added the "com.apple.developer.carplay-audio" entitlement to my .entitlements file, I'm getting the "Provisioning profile ... doesn't include the com.apple.developer.carplay-audio entitlement.". When I'm opening the profile in my text editor, I also can't find "carplay-audio" there. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Unable to launch app from CarPlay
Hi, I have a media app that works fine when it is launched from the phone and the menu buttons work perfectly. However the reverse scenario does not work i.e. if the app is not launched on phone but the App icon shows up on the screen - clicking on the icon does not launch the app. Any ideas what could be going on? Thanks

Payment with CarPlay
Assuming that I have an iOS app which is managing the payment method of the user (e.g. credit card), what is preventing me to build a CarPlay app (e.g. EV charging app) with a button that triggers the payment of the charging station? I mean, what are the advantages that will be introduced with iOS 16 that will allow the payment of gas stations from CarPlay?

CarPlay Simulator not Working
I am trying to run my navigation app on a physical device, and want to view it using CarPlay Simulator (through XCode additional tools, NOT Hardware->Display->CarPlay), however, when I try to use the app, device has a Red dot next to it, and the simulator shows nothing. What I've tried: Running on a real CP device(my car): App works as intended, but want to run simulator so I can have live debugging Forgetting CP device and reconnecting All Steps of "Troubleshooting CP Simulator" (Updating to latest iOS, restarting phone, turn off hotspot, not connected to any other CP devices, ensure Firewall allows incoming connections) Tried both Xcode 13 CP sim and Xcode 14 beta CP sim Tried both work and personal laptops/phones Ideas: I am running on a M1 laptop, which could be messing with something. I am also running my Xcode in Rosetta(app has packages that cannot compile without Rosetta), but I don't believe this should be a problem because I am running on a physical device not Xcode simulator. Also can't run on Hardware->Display->CarPlay because of Application does not implement CarPlay template application lifecycle methods in its scene delegate and I can't figure out how to fix ("EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]"= "arm64" does not work)

CarPlay automatic signing
The documentation for CarPlay (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/carplay/requesting_carplay_entitlements) tells you to disable automatic signing in the section titled "Import the CarPlay Provisioning Profile": Click All in the scope bar, and then deselect “Automatically manage signing”. There have also been other posts in the past about the inability to use automatic signing with CarPlay: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/63468 However in a recent post of mine (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/717429?login=true&page=1#732392022) I was instructed how to set it up so that I could use automatic signing for the new user-assigned-device-name entitlement and it worked so I thought "Can I do the same thing for CarPlay?" and it seems to be working so far. Is automatic signing with CarPlay now possible? We have been able to use automatic signing to archive successfully and run to real devices and verify that CarPlay is working. I'm crossing my fingers that we'll be able to submit and get the build approved and never have to touch manual signing again. Hopefully it works and the documentation is just out of date.

Is "CarPlay.app" malware or a bug?
Why is "CarPlay.app" text shown in Location Services? All other app listings display an icon instead of text - so this looks suspicious. It may be a bug though. Has anyone else seen this? I’ve filed this via Apple Feedback app but no response from Apple yet. Device is running iOS 16.2beta.

Notifications in Driving Task CarPlay app
I have an app with the "Driving Task" CarPlay entitlement. When I ask for permission for notifications in CarPlay (UNAuthorizationOptionCarPlay), and I check "carPlaySetting" in the UNNotificationSettings after granting permission, it get a value "UNNotificationSettingNotSupported" (the setting is not available to your app). Is this a bug? It feels like one. The app shows distances to some locations, and provides warnings to the user when approaching those locations. It is common for my users to use it at the same time they use a navigation app and switch between the two apps. But when they have the navigation app in foreground, they ask why my app is not showing notifications when giving an audio warning. The notifications are not even shown on the screen of the iPhone, the screen is turned off in iPhone 14 Pro when connecting to CarPlay, and the screen does not turn on when the app is in background in CarPlay and tries to show a notification.

questions about Carplay driving task
Hi, I have a couple of doubts. Can information layout be used for driving task? In the guidelines is stated "The information template can be used by communication, EV charging, parking, navigation, and quick food ordering apps." (hence, driving task is not part of this list) correct? in the Apple guidelines is stated "driving task and quick food ordering apps are limited to 2 templates". Then, it also says that the tab bar layout "allows up to 4 tabs for audio apps and up to 5 tabs for all other app types". What does this mean? Is it possible to use the tab bar layout with more than two levels of hierarchy within the driving task, or should I use it with a limit of two? Moreover, if the limit is two, do I have to also count the tab bar as one and, therefore, use just one other layout in addition as the maximum allowed number? thanks

displaying local notification in CarPlay app
I have created a CarPlay app that displays local notifications. The notification displays on iPhone but in CarPlay, the notification never displays. When registering for the notification via requestAuthorization, we are passing .carplay into the options. This results in the "Show in CarPlay" option to show up in the Notification settings for the app. However, even with this option enabled, no notification is ever displayed on the CarPlay screen. The CarPlay app we have created is the automaker type. Does this app type have additional notification restrictions?

Mic not working when using phone connected to Carplay.
This issue only happens on my phone, 12 Pro. My wife has a 12 Pro Max and carplay don't have any issues. Using phone app in carplay was working several days ago. I'm on IOS beta program and I have 17.0. The person on the other end of the call said that he thinks he hear a sound when I'm talking but it's not my voice. When I switch to use speaker on my phone then the other party can hear me clearly. But the sound now is on my phone not on the car's speaker. I know it's not my phone's mic coz I can use Siri on carplay. Also, it's not my car's mic coz my wife's 12 Pro max works fine. My wife's phone is NOT on the IOS beta program. I already did RESET ALL SETTINGS and still the same. I am hesitant to factory reset it, I have a lot on my phone. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Announce my apps' Notifications in CarPlay
My app uses UNMutableNotificationContent() to play a custom sound, and has a phrase as a message. I just got a vehicle with CarPlay. When my iPhone is connected to CarPlay, when the notification goes off at a time, it shows on the iPhone, but does not make any noise whatsoever. What I'd like to happen, is for CarPlay to announce the message when the notification goes off, like it does with Apple's messages app. As my phone is set right now, when I have my airPods in, it will announce the notification from my app. But not for CarPlay. What do I need to add to my app to allow CarPlay to announce the message that comes in from a notification (again, local, not a push notification).

how to show all contents in CPListTemplate?
I test my music app which supports CarPlay. CarPlay limits maximum number of items with CPListTemplate.maximumItemCount. my test case(real iPhone and CarPlay Simulator) CPListTemplate.maximumItemCount is 500. so I can show 500 items in CPListTemplate. however when I test with Apple Music App, (which has a playlist contains over 1000 songs) all songs can be presented. (I can scroll first song to last song.) I guess there's a reload list logic, because the limit count(500 items in list) should be same. but I don't know when should I reload items. because CPListTemplate is not UITableView, so I can't check an item position in list. I checked CPListItem, CPListTemplate and CPInterfaceController in documentation, I can't fine any hint for that. is there any ideas for showing all contents?
