“DeviceActivityReport”

Following up on my earlier thread about non-blocking interventions. I ran a clean, isolated test on iOS 26.5.2: I start DeviceActivityCenter.startMonitoring with a single event whose threshold is 2 minutes of usage for a selected app (includesPastActivity = false), with actions on eventDidReachThreshold. Result: the event's recorded trigger time is +0 seconds from monitoring start (immediate), it fires without any real usage, and after 2 minutes of actual use no notification and no ManagedSettings shield are applied. This matches the regression discussed in Forum thread 808470 / FB18061981. Concretely, the feature we want to build: while a user is using a selected app, deliver a repeating local notification every N minutes of usage (e.g., every 15 minutes) whose body states how many minutes they've used that app today (e.g., You've used TikTok for 45 minutes today). This is a gentle, factual awareness nudge — no blocking. This is exactly what eventDidReachThreshold with multiple thresholds (15/30/45 min…) + s

We are evaluating a native iOS feature for Kept, a two-adult daily-connection app, with initial customers physically in the United States using US-region Apple Accounts. Each adult would independently authorize access on their own iPhone and opt in to share daily total screen time and per-app names/minutes with one paired adult through our backend. Each person would preview the same summary their partner receives and could stop sharing or unpair at any time. Neither could configure or enforce restrictions on the other's device. Any app blocking would be separately controlled by the device owner. We do not need message contents, websites visited, or a live activity feed. We have reviewed: DeviceActivityReport, whose extension isolates usage data and prevents networking. DeviceActivityData.activityData(filteredBy:using:), whose documented customer availability is limited to EU devices/accounts, despite broader development testing access.

Our app — a screen-time / focus app — has had no App Review activity for two weeks, and we believe the trigger was an automated Guideline 2.5.1 check that froze an otherwise actively progressing review. (This forum account is linked to the developer account in question; we can provide the App ID, bundle IDs, submission IDs, and support case numbers through any private channel on request.) Context: Jul 2–5: Our first submission (Version 1.0.0) was under active review. We went through several ordinary metadata / paywall-related iterations, and the reviewer responded within roughly 24 hours each time. Nothing related to Screen Time was raised in these human reviews of builds 9 and 10. Jul 8: After we submitted build 11 — which addressed the remaining human-review feedback — we received an automated Guideline 2.5.1 (Performance: Software Requirements) message stating that the app uses the Screen Time API but has not been submitted with the Family Controls entitlement, and that review of the submission cannot proc

All After about 20 hours straight of working on this and having scrapped it twice I am realizing I should have asked everyone here for help. I am just trying to get device activity report extension to work inside an existing app. I have been heavily using family controls, managedsettings and deviceactivity and decided it would be nice to output some of the app usage so the User (parent) can see their children's app usage. I installed the target via xcode, confirmed group names match, and think I have it embedded correctly but when I run the app and call the view within the extension to show minutes used by any apps it just shows no time has been used. In addition, when I put print statements into the extension they do not show up in console. I have confirmed the main app target->Build phases->Link binary with Libraries has: ManagedSettings.framework FamilyControls.Framework DeviceActivity.framework I have confirmed in xcode that the main app target->Build phases -> Embed Foundation Extensions has:
