CarPlay developer

• Within the allowed categories. Audio, navigation and EV — the app types Apple permits for CarPlay.
• Working with the templates, not against them. Lists, grids, Now Playing — the building blocks Apple gives, used well.
• Safety and distraction first. The review rules are strict here, and rightly so; I build so you pass on the first try.
• The iOS app and CarPlay as one whole, not a bolted-on extra.

I contribute to CarPlay open source, including TDS-Carplay. And ten years of native iOS, including media and transit apps — the NOS app and the national transport companies (HTM, RET, GVB, Connexxion) — exactly the kind of real-time, on-the-go apps CarPlay fits.

CarPlay deliberately allows little freedom. That's not a bug — it keeps drivers safe and your app through review. I build within the lines Apple draws, because outside them you don't get approved. Pushing back comes with the job: I'll tell you honestly if something falls outside what CarPlay allows.

If it runs on an Apple device, I build it. The full story is on the homepage; for iOS and Android from one pair of hands, see this page.
