One of the problems I have w/ CarPlay is the fact that, because I have to plug the phone into the car, I am constantly leaving my phone behind when I get to my destination.
I was hoping to solve the problem w/ Shortcut Automation in IOS 13. I created an Automation to run when my phone is disconnected from CarPlay that would turn up my phone’s volume and play a reminder.
Unfortunately, the Automation fails to complete. While it start’s successfully, it returns the following error when it tries to play the notification …
... encountered an error XPC connection to the extension was interrupted.
If I replace the volume and speak commands w/ a text notification, the problem goes away. I suspect that the problem is somehow due to the Automation trying to play the message through the car’s audio system after I have already disconnected it. I’ve added a long wait command to the Automation, but that doesn’t seem to help.
Any ideas?
