I selected the wrong solution, it should be this comment: Good news. I was able to find out something interesting. Earlier I mentioned that my entitlements file contained com.apple.developer.playable-content meanwhile my provisioning profile entitlement was selected on CarPlay audio app (CarPlay + Media Player frameworks)iOS (Dist). When changing the CarPlay entitlement file in the app to com.apple.developer.carplay-audio (incorrect entitlement). I was able to reproduce the crash inside of the Xcode simulator. After changing it back to com.apple.developer.playable-content, the app in the simulator still crashed despite cleaning the build folder and deleting derived data and building again. However, it is possible to fix this by deleting the app from the simulator, then building and clean installing it all over again. This led me to the follow solution: Change the provisioning profile entitlement to CarPlay audio app (Media Player only)iOS (Dist) and build the app Delete the app from the device before installing it again In the CarPlay display, go to Settings (of CarPlay) General Reset to clear the CarPlay dashboard Which fixed the crashes

@robnotyou Yes. In my app's entitlements I have added com.apple.developer.playable-content (MediaPlayer framework). On the app's provisioning profile, I just noticed today that the entitlements has both: CarPlay audio app (CarPlay + Media Player frameworks)iOS (Dist). Which contains the new CarPlay audio framework entitlement as well as the Media Player entitlement. I'm not sure if this is causing an issue, but I am going to try to test the app with only the MediaPlayer framework entitlement checked in the provisioning profile I also received a crash event in FireBase Crashlytics: Here is the stack trace of the crashed thread. There is some additional information here that the Apple crashlogs didn't have.

@robnotyou Yes, I'm aware. I should have made it more clear. I have contacted Apple and as I said in my app's provisioning profile I have two CarPlay audio entitlements that have been added by Apple.
