Thanks for being a part of WWDC25!

How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here

CarPlay vs. AccessoryKit & NEHotspotHelper

CarPlay woes. I think it's unacceptable that it silently kills an ongoing WiFi connection that has been established using ASAccessoryKit and NEHotspotHelper which is in active use.

This is responsible for angry clients because their processes break a lot when they are in reach of the connected car. (And yes, they have to be in the reach of the car, because it is a diagnostic/maintenance app for cars…)

Do I really need to ask my clients to unpair from CarPlay before using our app or is there another way?

I encourage you to file a bug with that feedback.

IMPORTANT Make sure to include a sysdiagnose log with your bug report. Also, both CarPlay and Wi-Fi have debug profile on our Bug Reporting > Profiles and Logs page and it’d be good to enable that extra logging.

Please post your bug number, just for the record
