It looks like I'm one of the rare developers dealing with CarPlay...
I develop a CarPlay extension for my apps. A few things:
- especially when using the CarPlay I/O window in iOS Simulator, I get random selection highlightning for list items: I have three list templates in a tab template; once I reselect a list using the tab which has been selected before, the initial list item highlights / returns to normal every refresh of the list content; while this doesn't happen for my real world Sony CarPlay device, I'd rather not see such disturbing highlighting for my users. I do not update the template structs or items here, it is just content like text of detailText I update. Question: how to remove highlightning programmatically - especially for devices with touch screen?
- I have one user who reports auto-selection of UI elements while driving; I assume this is some problem with his touch screen, but it may be a general issue too. Question: anyone with similar observations
- connecting my iPhone to the stand-alone Car Play simulator doesn't work; I had it working before, so it might be related to a recent iOS beta...
Any hints / observations are welcome. The CarPlay community really seems to be small and I'd like to hear other's experience on the named items.
