Is iOS CarPlay API Public? How to Integrate CarPlay?

Question

Is the CarPlay API publicly available?

Where can we find a programming guide or the reference to these classes if it is?

Or will it integrate seamlessly with other APIs like Audio from AVFoundation?

Notes

• This question is broad and may be flagged as so but please do not as though there is almost no information on the subject and a lot of people could find it useful at this stage
• I live in Switzerland and want to go to Geneva to try out a demo app that I would write on a Ferrari lol.

Answer 1

The MusicCarDisplayUI.framework framework is a private framework as of iOS 7.1. Taking a look at the runtime headers of the framework, one can guess why; it's just not ready yet for wide use. Whether Apple will make it public in the future is one's guess.

In the meantime, make sure to open a feature request or directly contact Apple here.
