Hello Everyone,

I am developing an iOS app with CarPlay, I have very simple app with Siri enabled voice based messaging feature. For enabling additional capabilities in Apple Developer Account under Certificate, Identifiers and Profile Tab, we need to take approval from Apple with registering for MFI program or write about our app feature by filling a form provided by Apple. Also i am following all the guidelines of Apple CarPlay.

I have applied once fews weeks back still did not hear back from them.

My question is how to write to apple in correct manner about my app feature so that i can get approval of CarPlay entitlement enabled in Apple Developer portal ? Is there any particular keyword do i need to write or anything else ?

Any kind of help or guidance is valuable for me.

Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it.

Focus on building and finishing the app. Worry about entitlement approval later. Once it works on car play and before rushing to release and getting the entitlement, open a beta testing period via testflight and get real-world feedback before going to the store. Did you log into the developer portal to see if the entitlements where added to the app id? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/carplay/requesting_carplay_entitlements

Dear @MobileTen,

Thank you for providing me a link for requesting CarPlay entitlements. I have apple developer portal and when i navigate to Certificate, Identifiers & Profile tab on left side menu. When i click on creating new or Register a new identifier, i can see Capabilities and App Services tab but i cannot see Additional Capabilities from where i can select/check CarPlay Communication App.
