Thanks for the clarification. I checked the app again. The signed build includes: com.apple.developer.carplay-maps com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task The built Info.plist also includes: LSApplicationCategoryType = public.app-category.navigation UIBackgroundModes with location MKDirectionsApplicationSupportedModes with MKDirectionsModeCar CPSupportsDashboardNavigationScene = true UIApplicationSceneManifest with CPTemplateApplicationDashboardSceneSessionRoleApplication A CPTemplateApplicationDashboardSceneDelegate The Dashboard scene works when CarPlay creates it, but CarPlay still does not restore our app in the Dashboard at startup when no route is active, even if it was the last-used navigation app. Is there any additional condition CarPlay checks before instantiating the Dashboard scene for the last-used navigation app, or any way to diagnose why the Dashboard scene is not launched on startup?

I have the exact same problem… nobody can help ?
