New Video Shows iOS in the Car Running on iOS Simulator
The feature is intended to allow an iOS device to take over the in-dash display of a car. which lets you access your Maps, messages, make phone calls, and other services.
Troughton-Smith today posted a video which shows how the feature will work. via a barebones implementation that is actually present in the already released iOS 7.0.3 but not accessible by default. The video shows the iOS in the Car feature running on a separate 800×480 window in the iOS Simulator, which is part of Xcode, Apple’s integrated development environment (IDE).
Troughton-Smith provided the following details in the YouTube description:
- Supports Multiple ResolutionsMany car makers from Honda, Mercedes, Audi, BMW, and more, are expected to support the feature by this year. The second beta of iOS 7.1 brought a new Car Display toggle, leading some to believe that iOS in the Car support could be a feature bundled into iOS 7.1.
- Supports touchscreens (presumably single-touch?), hardware buttons, wheels and touchpads
- Does not support multitasking - car display will always show same current on-screen app as iPhone (which can be locked/asleep)
- Whitelisted to specific Apple apps - no public API for developers [yet?]
- Has no keyboard UI - voice recognition as input
- UI clearly subject to change
- Missing functionality in video is due to iOS Simulator not containing all the stock iOS apps
