So we have a media player in our SwiftUI app, and all the buttons go to the media function to play, pause , rewind etc. One feature people are requesting is the ability to airplay to other devices. I know they can do this via the Lock Screen and the notification bar, but wondering what function do I need to add to the media-player function to allow me to add a button to my swiftUI. I am wondering what function code do I need to add to my core mediaplayer.swift file that I can link a button too.

So I am trying to add two buttons to the view of my SwiftUI app that will allow a user to fast forward and rewind the audio clip. I already have it working on the Lock Screen and notification bar, but in the app I can't figure out how to link two buttons to these actions. I am wondering if anyone is able to assist. In the MusicCore.swift I have the following func setupRemoteTransportControls() { // Get the shared MPRemoteCommandCenter let commandCenter = MPRemoteCommandCenter.shared() let changePlaybackPositionCommand = commandCenter.changePlaybackPositionCommand changePlaybackPositionCommand.isEnabled = true changePlaybackPositionCommand.addTarget { event in let seconds = (event as? MPChangePlaybackPositionCommandEvent)?.positionTime ?? 0 let time = CMTime(seconds: seconds, preferredTimescale: 1) self.player?.seek(to: time) return .success } let skipBackwardCommand = commandCenter.skipBackwardCommand if(MusicPlayer.mediatype == "podcast") { skipBackwardCommand.isEnabled = true skipBackwardCommand.preferredIntervals = [NSNumber(value: 10)] skipBackwardCommand.addTarget(handler: skipBackward) } else{ skipBackwardCommand.isEnabled = false } let skipForwardCommand = commandCenter.skipForwardCommand if(MusicPlayer.mediatype == "podcast") { skipForwardCommand.isEnabled = true skipForwardCommand.preferredIntervals = [NSNumber(value: 30)] } else{ skipForwardCommand.isEnabled = false } skipForwardCommand.addTarget(handler: skipForward) // Add handler for Play Command commandCenter.playCommand.addTarget { [unowned self] event in if self.player?.rate == 0.0 { self.player?.play() return .success } return .commandFailed } // Add handler for Pause Command commandCenter.pauseCommand.addTarget { [unowned self] event in if self.player?.rate == 1.0 { self.player?.pause() MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.default().nowPlayingInfo?[MPNowPlayingInfoPropertyElapsedPlaybackTime] = Int(Double((self.player?.currentTime().seconds)!)) return .success } return .commandFailed } func skipBackward(_ event: MPRemoteCommandEvent) -> MPRemoteCommandHandlerStatus { //self.player?.seek(to: CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(CMTimeGetSeconds((self.player?.currentTime())!).advanced(by: -30), preferredTimescale: 1)) // print(CMTimeGetSeconds((self.player?.currentTime())!)) //Output: 42 //print(event.interval) //self.player!.seek(to: CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(CMTimeGetSeconds((self.player?.currentTime())!).advanced(by: -30), preferredTimescale: 1)) let currentTime = self.player?.currentTime() self.player?.seek(to: CMTime(seconds: currentTime!.seconds - 10, preferredTimescale: 1), completionHandler: { isCompleted in if isCompleted { MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.default().nowPlayingInfo?[MPNowPlayingInfoPropertyElapsedPlaybackTime] = Int(Double((self.player?.currentTime().seconds)!)) } }) return .success } func skipForward(_ event: MPRemoteCommandEvent) -> MPRemoteCommandHandlerStatus { //self.player?.seek(to: CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(CMTimeGetSeconds((self.player?.currentTime())!).advanced(by: 30), preferredTimescale: 1)) let currentTime = self.player?.currentTime() self.player?.seek(to: CMTime(seconds: currentTime!.seconds + 30, preferredTimescale: 1), completionHandler: { isCompleted in if isCompleted { MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.default().nowPlayingInfo?[MPNowPlayingInfoPropertyElapsedPlaybackTime] = Int(Double((self.player?.currentTime().seconds)!)) } }) return .success } } But how can I call that from inside a View?

So I was able to get my list to work, and it changes the station a user is listening to. However I am wondering how do I get it so that it moves the screen to a now playing screen. As when I go to the CarPlay Dashboard and click now playing I can see it does get the now playing information from my app. I have included my CarPlaySceneDelegate.swift file so people can see how I got it to work. As there is not a lot of documentation around how to get CarPlay apps to work. I tried  let nowplayingTemplate = CPNowPlayingTemplate.shared interfaceController.pushTemplate(nowplayingTemplate, animated: true, completion: true)              But that produced an error, wondering how do I get it to transition to the now playing template once a list is clicked/pressed CarPlaySceneDelegate.swift - https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/c88f48d7-d54b-4865-bad6-aefbb3cf5a2f

So I am using the sample code that was provided by Apple in 2020, however it seems that the code is no longer correct. As I am getting the following error: Cannot call value of non-function type 'CPNowPlayingTemplate' Remove '()' However when I do remove it the app fires up fine, minus the now playing information. I am wondering what do I need to do to get the now playing information which my iOS app does display, to send over to the CarPlay screen. I was told - "All you need is this template and then apple does everything in the background." Clearly that's wrong, because Apple would never make something be so easy. So I know I am going to have to add buttons, album art extra extra. But I don't know how to go about this, as I normally use SwiftUI. import Foundation import CarPlay class CarPlaySceneDelegate: UIResponder, CPTemplateApplicationSceneDelegate {        func templateApplicationScene(_ templateApplicationScene: CPTemplateApplicationScene,                                   didConnect interfaceController: CPInterfaceController) {          if #available(iOS 14.0, *) {         let nowPlayingTemplate = CPNowPlayingTemplate.shared           let rateButton = CPNowPlayingPlaybackRateButton() {_ in             // Change the playback rate!                      }                  nowPlayingTemplate.updateNowPlayingButtons([rateButton])       } else {           // Fallback on earlier versions       }          } } Side note: the sooner Apple allows SwiftUI to take over this the better. So key questions: How to print song information on this screen How to add pause and play button. I have included my MediaPlayer.swift file so you can see I use  MPNowPlayingInfoCenter MediaPlayer.swift - https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/0caa76cd-53d3-439c-9a86-37703dc20348

First time trying to get CarPlay added to my app, we are a radio/podcast app, and while on the developer provisioning I have the necessary permissions. I can't seem to get my entitlements.plist to be valid. ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? !DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd" plist version="1.0" dict     keycom.apple.developer.carplay-audio/key     true/ dict/ /plist Is their something I am missing? The error I am getting is "/Users/russellharrower/Apps/vscroll/DRN1.xcodeproj Entitlements file is not a plist or corrupt in target DRN1: "/Users/russellharrower/Apps/vscroll/Entitlements.plist" "

Hi I am wondering what do I need to do, to allow my TVML app to continue playing music in the background? I have tried to add background mode in info.plist but that has not work. Any ideas would help.
