User level: Level 1 (13 points)apple carplay allowed apps
iphone pro 16
two questions:
1. About 5 years ago, I asked the community why the fabulous App, Storm Radar was not available in CarPlay. I was given many puzzling responses, generally mentioning safety concerns while driving.
The app magically appeared in the last month. Why now?
My favorite music radio station App, WQXR is not allowed. Why?
My next favorite music radio station App, WLRN is allowed. Why?
Who decides which Apps are allowed?
thanks

The app developer typically decides whether they will support CarPlay or not.

Requesting CarPlay Entitlements | Apple Developer Documentation
Developers have to request the entitlement before adding CarPlay capability to their app. Apple will reiview each application.
