We are building a CarPlay app and have run into an issue with data updates. When the app is running on the CarPlay display and the iPhone screen is locked, no data updates are shown on the CarPlay screen. As soon as the phone is unlocked, the data updates appear instantly on the CarPlay display. Has anyone encountered this behavior before? Is there a specific setting, entitlement, or background mode we need to enable in order to ensure the CarPlay app continues to receive and display data while the iPhone is locked? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I’m working with CPGridTemplate in CarPlay. According to the documentation, it supports up to 9 CPGridButton objects and should display them in a grid (up to 3×3). However, I’ve run into two issues: Row instead of grid When I add 4–6 buttons, they don’t appear in a 2×2 or 2×3 grid. Instead, they are shown in a single horizontal row. Even 9 buttons do not appear in a 3x3 grid. More than 9 buttons My use case requires more than 9 icons, but it looks like CPGridTemplate ignores any additional buttons beyond the first 9. Is there any supported way to display more than 9 buttons in a grid, or is pagination/multiple templates the only option? Thanks in advance!
