CarPlay App Categories

⚠️ Important: CarPlay apps require entitlements from Apple. You must request and receive approval for your specific app category before your app can connect to CarPlay.

CarPlay supports apps in the following categories (each requires a separate entitlement):

• Audio & Podcasts: Music, podcasts, audiobooks, and radio apps

  • Entitlement: com.apple.developer.carplay-audio
  • Requirements: Audio playback, Now Playing integration

• Communication: Messaging and VoIP calling apps

  • Entitlement: com.apple.developer.carplay-communication
  • Requirements: CallKit integration, Siri integration

• Navigation: Turn-by-turn navigation and maps

  • Entitlement: com.apple.developer.carplay-maps
  • Requirements: Real-time navigation, route guidance

• Parking: Finding and paying for parking

  • Entitlement: com.apple.developer.carplay-parking
  • Requirements: Location services, parking availability

• EV Charging: Locating and managing electric vehicle charging

  • Entitlement: com.apple.developer.carplay-charging
  • Requirements: Charging station data, availability status

• Food Ordering: Quick service food ordering

  • Entitlement: com.apple.developer.carplay-quick-food
  • Requirements: Menu browsing, order placement

How to request entitlements:

1. Visit https://developer.apple.com/contact/carplay/
2. Describe your app's functionality and category
3. Wait for Apple's review and approval (typically 1-2 weeks)
4. Add the approved entitlement to your Xcode project

Template-Based UI

CarPlay uses a template-based system where Apple provides the UI components and you provide the content. This ensures:

• Driver-safe interfaces optimized for in-car use
• Consistent user experience across all CarPlay apps
• Automatic adaptation to different vehicle displays

Usage Guidelines

1. Use appropriate templates for your app category
2. Keep content simple - limit items and text for driver safety
3. Provide large, clear images for better visibility
4. Handle connection/disconnection gracefully
5. Test in CarPlay Simulator before testing in vehicle
6. Follow distraction guidelines - no video, animations, or ads while driving

Testing with CarPlay Simulator

The CarPlay Simulator in Xcode allows you to test your app without a physical vehicle:

Setup:

1. Open your CarPlay app project in Xcode
2. Select an iOS Simulator as your run destination
3. In the Simulator menu: I/O > External Displays > CarPlay
4. A CarPlay display window will appear alongside the iOS simulator

Simulator Features:

• Test all CarPlay templates and UI elements
• Simulate day/night modes (automatic based on system dark mode)
• Test different screen sizes and aspect ratios
• Simulate Siri interactions and voice commands
• Test connection/disconnection scenarios
• Debug layout issues before vehicle testing

Limitations:

• Cannot test actual vehicle integration
• Limited testing of physical controls (knobs, touchscreens)
• Some vehicle-specific features unavailable
• Audio routing may differ from actual vehicles

Best Practice: Always test in the simulator first, then verify in a physical vehicle or CarPlay-compatible head unit before release.

Navigation

See the references/ directory for detailed API documentation organized by category:

• references/api_reference.md - Api Reference
• references/communication.md - Communication
• references/dashboard.md - Dashboard and Instrument Cluster
• references/getting_started.md - Getting Started
• references/navigation.md - Navigation
• references/poi.md - Poi
• references/templates.md - Templates
• references/ui_elements.md - Ui Elements

Best Practices

• Scene Management: Implement CPTemplateApplicationSceneDelegate to handle CarPlay connection
• Template Limits: Respect maximum item counts (CPListTemplate: 12 sections, CPGridTemplate: 8 buttons)
• Image Sizes: Follow recommended image sizes for templates and UI elements
• Dynamic Updates: Use update methods (updateSections, updateButtons) to refresh content
• Navigation Hierarchy: Use push/pop for navigation, present for modals
• Error Handling: Gracefully handle failures and provide user feedback

Common Patterns

Basic List Template

// Create list items
let item1 = CPListItem(text: "Song Title", detailText: "Artist Name")
item1.handler = { item, completion in
    // Handle selection
    completion()
}

// Create section and template
let section = CPListSection(items: [item1, item2])
let listTemplate = CPListTemplate(title: "My Playlist", sections: [section])

// Set as root
interfaceController.setRootTemplate(listTemplate, animated: true)

Navigation with Map Template

// Create map template
let mapTemplate = CPMapTemplate()
mapTemplate.mapDelegate = self

// Show trip preview
let trip = CPTrip(/* route data */)
mapTemplate.showTripPreviews([trip], textConfiguration: nil)

// Start navigation
let navigationSession = mapTemplate.startNavigationSession(for: trip)
navigationSession.upcomingManeuvers = [maneuver1, maneuver2]

Tab Bar Template

// Create root templates for each tab
let musicTab = CPListTemplate(title: "Music", sections: [musicSection])
musicTab.tabTitle = "Music"
musicTab.tabImage = UIImage(systemName: "music.note")

let podcastsTab = CPListTemplate(title: "Podcasts", sections: [podcastSection])
podcastsTab.tabTitle = "Podcasts"
podcastsTab.tabImage = UIImage(systemName: "mic")

// Create tab bar
let tabBarTemplate = CPTabBarTemplate(templates: [musicTab, podcastsTab])
interfaceController.setRootTemplate(tabBarTemplate, animated: false)

Now Playing Template

// Configure Now Playing buttons
let playButton = CPNowPlayingPlaybackRateButton()
let skipButton = CPNowPlayingSkipButton(handler: { _ in
    // Skip to next track
})

CPNowPlayingTemplate.shared.updateNowPlayingButtons([playButton, skipButton])
CPNowPlayingTemplate.shared.isUpNextButtonEnabled = true

Sports Mode for Live Events (iOS 18.4+)

// Create team logos
let homeTeamLogo = CPNowPlayingSportsTeamLogo(teamLogo: UIImage(named: "home_logo")!)
let awayTeamLogo = CPNowPlayingSportsTeamLogo(teamInitials: "VIS")

// Create teams with scores and possession
let homeTeam = CPNowPlayingSportsTeam(
    name: "Home Team",
    logo: homeTeamLogo,
    teamStandings: "1st Place",
    eventScore: "21",
    possessionIndicator: .solid,  // Home team has possession
    favorite: true
)

let awayTeam = CPNowPlayingSportsTeam(
    name: "Away Team",
    logo: awayTeamLogo,
    teamStandings: "2nd Place",
    eventScore: "17",
    possessionIndicator: nil,  // No possession
    favorite: false
)

// Create game clock (counting down from 15:00)
let gameClock = CPNowPlayingSportsClock(
    timeRemaining: 15 * 60,  // 15 minutes in seconds
    paused: false
)

// Create event status with status text and clock
let eventStatus = CPNowPlayingSportsEventStatus(
    eventStatusText: ["3rd Quarter", "4th Down", "Goal Line"],
    eventStatusImage: UIImage(named: "field_position"),
    eventClock: gameClock
)

// Create sports mode
let sportsMode = CPNowPlayingModeSports(
    leftTeam: homeTeam,
    rightTeam: awayTeam,
    eventStatus: eventStatus,
    backgroundArtwork: UIImage(named: "stadium_background")
)

// Set as active now playing mode
CPNowPlayingTemplate.shared.nowPlayingMode = sportsMode

// Update clock during game (e.g., every second)
Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 1.0, repeats: true) { _ in
    // Update time remaining
    let newClock = CPNowPlayingSportsClock(
        timeRemaining: getCurrentGameTime(),
        paused: isGamePaused()
    )

    // Update event status with new clock
    let updatedStatus = CPNowPlayingSportsEventStatus(
        eventStatusText: eventStatus.eventStatusText,
        eventStatusImage: eventStatus.eventStatusImage,
        eventClock: newClock
    )

    // Refresh sports mode
    let updatedMode = CPNowPlayingModeSports(
        leftTeam: homeTeam,
        rightTeam: awayTeam,
        eventStatus: updatedStatus,
        backgroundArtwork: sportsMode.backgroundArtwork
    )

    CPNowPlayingTemplate.shared.nowPlayingMode = updatedMode
}

maneuver.initialTravelEstimates = CPTravelEstimates(
    distanceRemaining: Measurement(value: 500, unit: UnitLength.meters),
    timeRemaining: 60
)

// Add lane guidance
let lane1 = CPLane(angles: [.left, .straight])
lane1.status = .recommended
let lane2 = CPLane(angles: [.straight, .right])
lane2.status = .preferred
maneuver.linkedLaneGuidance = CPLaneGuidance(lanes: [lane1, lane2], instructionVariants: ["Use right lane"])

// Add maneuver to navigation session
navigationSession.upcomingManeuvers = [maneuver]

Attributed Instructions with Images

// Create attributed instruction with embedded image

let attachment = NSTextAttachment(image: image)
let imageString = NSAttributedString(attachment: attachment)
instruction.append(NSAttributedString(string: " "))
instruction.append(imageString)

// Create maneuver with attributed instruction
let maneuver = CPManeuver()
maneuver.attributedInstructionVariants = [instruction]

// Also set dashboard-specific attributed instructions
let dashboardInstruction = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Turn Right ")
let dashboardImage = UIImage(systemName: "arrow.turn.up.right.circle.fill")!
let dashboardAttachment = NSTextAttachment(image: dashboardImage)
dashboardInstruction.append(NSAttributedString(attachment: dashboardAttachment))
dashboardInstruction.append(NSAttributedString(string: " Apple Park Way"))

maneuver.dashboardAttributedInstructionVariants = [dashboardInstruction]

// Set symbol image for main display
maneuver.symbolImage = UIImage(named: "turn-right")

// Add to navigation session
navigationSession.upcomingManeuvers = [maneuver]

Route Selection

// Create route choices for trip preview
let fastRoute = CPRouteChoice(
    summaryVariants: ["Via Highway - 25 min"],
    additionalInformationVariants: ["Fastest route"],
    selectionSummaryVariants: ["Take the highway"]
)

let scenicRoute = CPRouteChoice(
    summaryVariants: ["Via Scenic Road - 35 min"],
    additionalInformationVariants: ["No tolls"],
    selectionSummaryVariants: ["Take the scenic route"]
)
