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.
Side note: the sooner Apple allows SwiftUI to take over this the better.
So key questions:

Code Block 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 } } }

How to add pause and play button.
