I have navigation app and now I'm developing CarPlay Dashboard. I can't launch InterfaceController after click button in CPDashboard.

enter image description here

My button code:

let searchButton = CPDashboardButton(titleVariants: ["Find"], subtitleVariants: ["place"], image: searchImage) { [weak self] (_) in
                self?.openSearchView()
            }

After button tap, func openSearchView() is called, but view still stay in dashboard.

There is no info in docs, how can we switch between view (interface controller <-> dashboard controller)

Not sure this is the right way, but ther is no mention about this, not even the official sample app does it. But you can achieve it by calling open(_, options:, completionHandler) on dashboardScene.

Like this

dashboardController.shortcutButtons = [CPDashboardButton(titleVariants: ["Find"], subtitleVariants: ["place"], image: searchImage, handler: { _ in
    guard let url = URL(string: "your.app.scheme://whatever/wherever") else { return }
    templateApplicationDashboardScene.open(url, options: nil, completionHandler: nil)
})]

This will open the main app and calls open(_, urlContexts:) on main carplay scene where you can handle that url and react accordingly, like open search ar whatever.

  • That's it! I did it 3 weeks ago, and forgot write answer here. Thanks for your help ;) – Michael_Gruszka May 10 '21 at 06:16
  • Hi, I have the same issue. However, it does not work for me when using the .open() function. I wrote "my.app.scheme://carplay". That might be the issue? Should it be something specific that I don't know about? And if there is another way, that would be really helpful. "my.app.scheme" being my actual app scheme – Jaafar Mahdi Aug 08 '23 at 17:53
