Xamarin-macios: Carplay: App don't show up & methods are not called

[Suplanus]

I want to make a blog post with a demo application for CarPlay in Xamarin.
In the Demo app I have a Audio player (Xamarin.Forms).

Found no other examples or references for Xamarin. Thats the reason why I want to share this 🦄

Steps to Reproduce

Run the demo application.

Expected Behavior

• App should be displayed in Carplay
• Methods in AppDelegateDataSource & PlayableContentDelegate don't called

Actual Behavior

Example Project

You can run the application from this repo.

According to:

https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2017/719/?time=185

If you think your audio, automaker, messaging or VoIP calling app has the potential to be supported by CarPlay tell us about it at the CarPlay developer portal. There you'll be able to request an entitlement to get your app running in CarPlay

So it sounds like you need to contact Apple for that entitlement.

[chamons]

If after getting that entitlement things do not work, please reopen with details.

[Suplanus]

The entitlement is not needed for simulator.
But I also ask Apple and got the entitlement for my provisioning profile.

Don't think this is the problem.

[chamons]

Ok, with the entitlement from Apple you are still seeing this @Suplanus in simulator? If so we can rule that out and investigate.

[Suplanus]

Yes, the problem is there. With and without the entitlement from Apple.
As I said, in the simulator you don't need the Apple entitlement.

I can't reopen the issue. Could you please reopen it?

Thanks for your feedback 🦄

[Suplanus]

I added a working demo in swift.
Here you can see that no entitlement is needed for the simulator.

[chamons]

Interesting, reopening for consideration.

[chamons]

While you have the correct entitlement in the file, you weren't actually including it in your build.

Fixed in https://github.com/Suplanus/Xamarin.Demo.Carplay/pull/2

Oh my... 🤦‍♂️
Thanks a lot 💕

Good point to start. Will update with an hopefully blog post about Carplay & Xamarin here.
