“DeviceActivityReport”

Hello, I am trying to display basic screen time data on my main screen. On the initial load of the screen, the DeviceActivityReport renders correctly and visible, but after being in the background and coming back to the app, the whole view is just blank. I don't think I'm doing anything special. Is this a known bug? @main struct MyActivityReportExtension: DeviceActivityReportExtension { var body: some DeviceActivityReportScene { // Create a report for each DeviceActivityReport.Context that your app supports. TotalActivityReport { totalActivity in TotalActivityView(totalActivity: totalActivity) } // Add more reports here... } } extension DeviceActivityReport.Context { // If your app initializes a DeviceActivityReport with this context, then the system will use // your extension's corresponding DeviceActivityReportScene to render the contents of the // report. static let totalActivity = Self(Total Activity) } struct TotalActivityReport: DeviceActivityReportScene { // Define which context your

Hi team. I am working on an app that uses the Screen Time API. I got access to the family controls (distribution) capability through the request process for my main app. I added a DeviceActivityReport extension in XCode, but haven't been able to get the extension to show up on the screen. I noticed that the extension only has the development version of the family controls capability available. Is this the source of my errors? I was able to get the screen time displayed in a test app I built where both the main app and extension used the development version of the capability, which led me to believe that discrepancy could be the issue. Let me know if there is anything I can provide to help in the debugging process. I didn't send a minimal example in this request due to the fact that I would have to remove most of my functionality to create a minimal example (since the signing is only for my main app), but I can do that if needed. Thanks! I looked through the logs in the console for the phone (I'm test

The connection to service with pid 3957 named com.apple.DeviceActivityUI.DeviceActivityReportService.viewservice was interrupted, but the message was sent over an additional proxy and therefore this proxy has become invalid. I'm stuck on it

I'm experiencing a conflict between Xcode 16's build requirements and App Store validation for DeviceActivityReport extensions. The Issue: Created a DeviceActivityReport extension using Xcode 16's template Extension builds and runs perfectly locally TestFlight upload fails with Apple saying EXAppExtensionAttributes is incorrect for widget extensions When I remove EXAppExtensionAttributes from Info.plist, local builds fail with: Appex bundle does not define an EXAppExtensionAttributes dictionary Current Info.plist (works locally, rejected by App Store): EXAppExtensionAttributes EXExtensionPointIdentifier com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension NSExtension NSExtensionPointIdentifier com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension NSExtensionPrincipalClass $(PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME).ActivityReportExtension The Problem: Xcode 16's Device Activity Report Extension template uses fileSystemSynchronizedGroups which appears to require the EX configuration format. But App Store validation rejects this for

Hi everyone, I’m experimenting with the new ScreenTime DeviceActivityReport view in SwiftUI (iOS 17 / Xcode 15). My goal is to show the report inside a Button (or, more generally, capture any tap on it) so that I can push a detail screen when the user selects it. Here’s the minimal code that reproduces the issue: import FamilyControls import DeviceActivity import SwiftUI struct ScreenTimeView: View { let center = AuthorizationCenter.shared @State private var context: DeviceActivityReport.Context = .init(rawValue: Total Activity) @State private var filter = DeviceActivityFilter( segment: .hourly( during: Calendar.current.dateInterval(of: .day, for: .now)! ), users: .all, devices: .init([.iPhone, .iPad]) ) var body: some View { ZStack { DeviceActivityReport(context, filter: filter) } .onAppear { Task { do { try await center.requestAuthorization(for: .individual) } catch { print(Authorization failed:, error) } } } } } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { ScrollViewReader { _ in Scro

Hi, I’m building an iOS self accountability app using FamilyControls and DeviceActivity. I can show the user’s real Screen Time correctly inside a DeviceActivityReport extension on a real device, but I want to use that same daily total inside the main app for today’s log and leaderboard. What I’m stuck on is getting that value back into the app. I tried App Groups, shared UserDefaults, a shared file in the app group container, and CFPreferences, but the report still only works as a display and the main app never receives the total. Is there any Apple supported way to use the daily Screen Time total from a DeviceActivityReport extension inside the containing app, or is this intentionally display only? Thanks.

Hello! I am developing an app using the Screen Time API. Everything is good, but I have a problem with DeviceActivityReport. On the child’s device, stats are synced to the app in about 1-5 minutes. However, on the parent’s device, it can take around an hour or more. How can I make the stats sync faster between the child’s device and the parent’s device? How I Implemented It @Published var context: DeviceActivityReport.Context = .init(Time Limit) let filter = DeviceActivityFilter( segment: .daily( during: Calendar.current.dateInterval(of: .day, for: .now)! ), users: .children, devices: .all, applications: applicationTokens ) DeviceActivityReport(viewModel.context, filter: viewModel.filter) .frame(maxHeight: viewModel.maxReportHeight) In the Report Extension (Test Code) for await d in data { result += device.name=(d.device.name ?? ) result += nuser.appleID=(d.user.appleID ?? ) result += ngivenName=(d.user.nameComponents?.givenName ?? ) result += nrole=(d.user.role.rawValue) for await activity

Using the DeviceActivity framework we are able to display data based on a user's screentime and device usage. With the DeviceActivityFilter property, you can specify the date interval to collect data between. In testing, it seems that data only becomes accessible once the extension has been installed (so the extension isn't reading the screentime data already collected on device). However, once installed, I'm curious how far back you can query data from in the data interval? Opal which uses the Screentime API appears to have a lifetime Screentime metric, so hypothetically it should possible to query data as far back as collection starts. Unless they are getting around the sandbox environment and storing the data somehow. Side note on Opal -- They seem to have a community average of Screentime among people in the same age group. Does anyone know how they are collecting the data for this average? Is it actually using live Screentime data or just aggregating data from other studies?

Hello everyone, I’m working on an iOS app that uses the new DeviceActivity framework to monitor and report user screen‐time in an extension (DeviceActivityReportExtension). I need to persist my processed screen‐time data into a standalone SQLite database inside the extension, but I’m running into issues opening and writing to the database file. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: import UIKit import DeviceActivity import SQLite3 class DeviceActivityReportExtension: DeviceActivityReportExtension { private var db: OpaquePointer? override func didReceive(_ report: DeviceActivityReport) async { // 1. Construct path in app container: let containerURL = FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: group.com.mycompany.myapp) let dbURL = containerURL?.appendingPathComponent(ScreenTimeReports.db) // 2. Open database: if sqlite3_open(dbURL?.path, &db) != SQLITE_OK { print(❌ Unable to open database at (dbURL?.path ?? unknown path)) return } defer { sqlite3_close(db) } // 3. Create tabl

We have integrated DeviceActivityReport to our Family Controll app. All capabilities are added. We built the app and tested it, but when we want to upload to TestFlight the following error happened (see attached image) When we are adding NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass the following error appears during installation process. DeviceReport.appex with id com.example.example.DeviceReport defines either an NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass key, which is not allowed for the extension point com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension
