Siri Custom Intents on CarPlay

I have a custom intent that allows a user to start a meeting - they don’t have to pick up their phone at all to start/join the meeting. This works perfectly on device - the intent is created, confirmed, and goes to the custom intent handle(intent:completion:) function where I call completion(StartMeetingIntentResponse(code: .continueInApp, userActivity: userActivity)). This opens the app and starts the meeting - all hands-free.

When my device is connected via CarPlay, this intent can’t be completed. It gets all the way to where I call completion(StartMeetingIntentResponse(code: .continueInApp, userActivity: userActivity)), then Siri responds with “Sorry, I can’t do that while you’re driving.” It never makes it to my app delegate, where I have implemented application(_:userActivity:restorationHandler:) and would expect my app to pick up the activity to start the meeting. Why is this happening?

I have implemented the INStartCallIntent similarly - calling completion(INStartCallIntentResponse(code: .continueInApp, userActivity: userActivity)) and that intent works just fine when connected to CarPlay, but my app has a distinction between calling and meeting so I really need both to work.

I am also having the same issue, My app uses scene delegates. It works fine on the phone but after connecting to carplay the scene continue useractivity is never called at phoneSceneDelegate
