DeviceActivityMonitor

I've downloaded another screen time app that uses DeviceActivityMonitor, and once that app starts monitoring during an active monitoring schedule on my app - my app's monitoring schedule immediately ends. Is this expected behavior? Can't find this in any of the docs, but are two separate apps allowed to monitor activities during an overlapping schedule?

I am having a lot of trouble reliably making network requests from the DeviceActivityMonitor extension. In the app extension, when intervalDidEnd is called by the system, I add some data to the app's local CoreData store and sync that with the server. I use URLSession dataTask to make a POST request to my server, with URLSessionConfiguration.sharedContainerIdentifier set to my App Group's shared identifier. It is extremely rare that my server receives this request, although sometimes (rarely) it does. I've tried things like wrapping the task in performExpiringActivity or using URLSessionConfiguration.background suspecting that this task needs to run in the background, but none of it seems to work. What I suspect is happening is that the App Extension gets cancelled before the request is able to be invoked. Looking at the console logs, sometimes the work stops before the request is called, sometimes during the request task, and sometimes even before I am able to update my local data store. It's been v

I have followed the two videos about Screen time API in wwdc 21 and 22. Now i want to sheild some apps during sleeping, but I encounter some problems. Problem I faced I write my monitor and override intervalDidStart and intervalDidEnd . Here is a simplified version class Mymonitor: DeviceActivityMonitor { let store = ManagedSettingsStore() override func intervalDidStart(for activity: DeviceActivityName) { super.intervalDidStart(for: activity) store.shield.applications = selection.applicationToken } then I use deviceActivityCenter to start monitor func StartSleep (_ startTime : DateComponents) { let schedule = DeviceActivitySchedule(intervalStart: startTime, intervalEnd: DateComponents(hour: 4, minute: 0), repeats: true ) let center = DeviceActivityCenter() center.stopMonitoring([.daily]) try! center.startMonitoring(.daily, during: schedule) } However, when I use StartSleep. The applications is not shielded. I have noticed that I haven't use Mymonitor in any place. In the demo Code, it seems i just ne

I did a lot of researches, but cannot understand why methods inside DeviceActivityMonitor extension are not calling. What I've seen related to this question and already checked: Do you starting monitoring for schedules? Yes, I do by calling center.startMonitoring() as it has been explained on WWDC2021-10123. I was searching an issue while creating the extension. Walk through steps that are described here. Everything looks good for me. Did you add Family Control Capability to extension's target? Yes, I did. Is your device authorized with FamilyControls? Yes. The only doubt I have here that I'm authorising FamilyControls for .individual . But as I've asked previously, it shouldn’t be a reason. Task { do { guard #available(iOS 16.0, *) else { // Fallback on earlier versions return } try await AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .individual) switch AuthorizationCenter.shared.authorizationStatus { case .notDetermined: print(not determined) case .denied: print(denied) case .approved: print

I'm following the video with explanation of how to dealing with DeviceActivityMonitor extension. I'm facing the issue with empty ManagedSettingsStore when I'm trying to retrieve discouraged apps. The apps successfully where blocked on the selection step via .familyActivityPicker. The problem is that I can’t retrieve discouraged apps. I read that Model.shared won’t work in extension. To sync an app and extension we need to use AppGroups. Do we need to use AppGroups if we follow code like in the video?

Hey y'all, I've been staring at this so long that I think I might be going insane. So for Device activity , I can get the permissions to access, and I can even lock apps. But I can't get anything to print in the functions of my class with the override functions for DeviceActivityMonitor, and I can't get a rendering of a device manager - even when am just sending 0m as a string from the TotalActivityReport's makeConfiguration function without touching the data given. Can someone please lend me a hand? I have seen at least three other people asking about something like this here and stack overflow and there are no answers. I have already included and am using app groups. I have already filed a bug report with feedback assistant. Thank you! I will try and update this in the morning.

My app monitors DeviceActivityEvents with no categories, apps, or websites selected because we want to monitor their time spent on all categories, apps, and websites. This is because my app gives users rewards for keeping their total Screen Time low. Unfortunately, it has been seemingly impossible to align the Screen Time shown with DeviceActivityReport to the Screen Time monitored with DeviceActivityMonitor. By default, the DeviceActivityReport captures more Screen Time than the DeviceActivityMonitor by default. But if I try to filter the report by totalActivityDuration on each category, it misses some Screen Time captured by the monitor (like FaceTime, for instance). I simply want to report to the user exactly the Screen Time I am monitoring by default with DeviceActivityMonitor. Is that possible without selecting any categories, apps, or websites in the monitor?

I've followed along with the Screen Time API demos (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10123/) Also followed along with this guide, which is essentially the same: https://www.folio3.com/mobile/blog/screentime-api-ios/ I'm able to restrict access to apps/categories with the FamilyActivityPicker and FamilyActivitySelection. I can set a DeviceActivitySchedule, and then use DeviceActivityCenter to start monitoring it. I can tell that the schedule is working, because MyMonitor:intervalDidStart() does get called, and it works except for the restricting of apps/categories/webCategories. It's as if MyModel does not have any values set from within MyMonitor. I've confirmed that MyModel does have the correct FamilyActivitySelection apps etc, everywhere else in my Target, before and after the MyMonitor:intervalDidStart() gets called. MyMonitor is in a separate target called MonitorExtension, that I created using the Device Activity Monitor Extension template. But I made sure to set the Target Membership of
