Open the original- What it measures
- The three intents are Send a message, Request a list of messages and Modify the attributes of a message. Apple requires them for any CarPlay app that offers text messaging.
- What it does not show
- The rule covers the messaging features an app offers in CarPlay. It does not say how a particular app dictates, and the guide is Apple's developer documentation, not a list of approved apps.
