how do I make a CarPlay music app

To create a CarPlay music app, you can leverage the next generation of CarPlay architecture and design system. Here are some key steps and features you might consider:

Understand the Architecture:
- The next generation of CarPlay builds on the existing architecture, adding new capabilities such as in-vehicle rendering, composition, and support for vehicle state. This allows for a highly flexible and customizable UI that can adapt to different vehicle configurations (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).
Use Automaker Apps:
- Automaker apps run on iPhone, allowing you to leverage the full power of iOS to create rich and custom UIs. You can define settings, labels, icons, and functionality entirely (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).
Customize the UI:
- The next generation of CarPlay UI is highly flexible and can be configured to match the features of your car. You can add or remove UI elements to match the availability within the car using the vehicle state protocol (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).
Dynamic Content and Integration:
- The design system allows for dynamic content that combines vehicle info with CarPlay features. This includes a flexible layout system that can adapt to your hardware configuration and design preferences (Say hello to the next generation of CarPlay design system).
Enable Custom Features:
- You can create custom settings and features that are easily accessible. For example, you can use the prominence info API to highlight important settings or features (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).
Technical Documentation and MFI Program:
- For more detailed technical information and access to necessary documentation, you should enroll in the Apple MFI program (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).
