What it does
Build CarPlay-enabled apps using the CarPlay framework. Use when creating navigation, audio, communication, EV charging, parking, or food ordering apps for the car display, working with CPTemplateApplicationScene, CPInterfaceController template hierarchies, CPListTemplate, CPMapTemplate, CPNowPlayingTemplate, configuring CarPlay entitlements, or integrating with CarPlay Simulator for testing.
CarPlay
Build category-entitled, template-based CarPlay apps for the vehicle display. Scope: Swift 6.3, iOS 26+.
See references/carplay-patterns.md for extended patterns including full navigation sessions, dashboard scenes, and advanced template composition.
Scope boundary: full CarPlay framework apps use category entitlements,
CPTemplateApplicationScene, CPTemplateApplicationSceneDelegate,
CPInterfaceController, and system CPTemplate navigation. CarPlay-visible
WidgetKit widgets and ActivityKit Live Activities are separate system
experiences; route their implementation to those domains while keeping
CarPlay-specific validation here.
