yup, works for me. The protocol string you specified in the entitlement file must also be specified in the CarPlay Simulator under Configuration -> Automaker Apps

Assuming you are building an automaker app, specify the protocol in the entitlement file under "com.apple.developer.carplay-protocols", then in CarPlay Simulator, goto Configuration -> Automaker Apps and specify the same protocol string

we got it working with enterprise app

Try this: You have to setup a notification category with .allowInCarPlay option. Then use the category name in the notification's categoryIdentifier field. let category = UNNotificationCategory(identifier: "CarPlay", actions: [], intentIdentifiers: [], options: [.allowInCarPlay]) UNUserNotificationCenter.current().setNotificationCategories([category]) and also .carplay option when requesting notification authorization: UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound, .badge, .carPlay]) and set "CarPlay" for the categoryIdentifier in the push payload (it can be any string, just need to match what you used in UNNotificationCategory.

I was able to get this to work by configuring the following: You have to setup a notification category with .allowInCarPlay option. Then use the category name in the notification's categoryIdentifier field. let category = UNNotificationCategory(identifier: "CarPlay", actions: [], intentIdentifiers: [], options: [.allowInCarPlay]) UNUserNotificationCenter.current().setNotificationCategories([category]) and also .carplay option when sending the notification: UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound, .badge, .carPlay])
