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])

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.

we got it working with enterprise app

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

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
