Struggling to display DeviceActivityReport view in a widget
I want to add a widget to my app that will display the # of pickups the user has for the day. I have the DeviceActivityReport working in the main app but can't get it to display in the widget since it is not a supported view for widgets. Is there any workaround for getting this view to the widget? I tried converting the DeviceActivityReport view to a UI image thinking maybe that would be a way to use a widget approved view type but ImageRenderer seems to fail to render an image for the view (which is just a Text view). To summarize my questions: Is it possible to display a DeviceActivityReport in a widget? If so, what is the best practice? Is converting the DeviceActivityReport view into an image and displaying that in a widget an option? Here's my attempt to convert the DeviceActivityReport view into a UIImage: import SwiftUI import _DeviceActivity_SwiftUI struct PickupsDeviceActivityReport: View {     @State private var context: DeviceActivityReport.Context = .totalActivity     @State private var renderedImage = Image(systemName: "exclamationmark.triangle")     @Environment(\.displayScale) var displayScale     var body: some View {         renderedImage             .onAppear { render() }             .onChange(of: context) {                 _ in render()             }     }     @MainActor func render() {         let renderer = ImageRenderer(content: DeviceActivityReport(context))         renderer.scale = displayScale         if let uiImage = renderer.uiImage {             renderedImage = Image(uiImage: uiImage)         }     } } Help is appreciated. Thank you.

DeviceActivityReport inconsistencies
Hello, I want to echo the DeviceActivityReport "concurrency" problems flagged in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/720549, and ask a related question. (Thanks to Kmart and other Apple dev support folks who have been monitoring these forums and responding diligently.) I would like to display daily and weekly stats in the same view, broken down by specific apps (as in the native Screen Time). However, instantiating multiple DeviceActivityReport objects with different filters and/or different contexts leads to confusion, where the two views will incorrectly and intermittently swap data or duplicate data where it shouldn't (seemingly upon some interval when the extension provides fresh data). There isn't documentation on how to display multiple reports at once. Is the idea that logic for multiple reports should be embedded within the extension itself in the makeConfiguration() function and there should only be a single DeviceActivityReport in the main App, or is this a bug? Even with a single DeviceActivityReport, I run into inconsistencies where the View provided by the extension takes multiple seconds to load or fails to load altogether. The behavior seems random...I will build the application with the same code multiple times and see different behavior each time. Finally, a plug for better support in the Simulator for the entire set of Screen Time APIs. Thanks!

Open parent app from ShieldAction extension in iOS
When I tap on one of the buttons in the ShieldAction extension I want to close the shield and open the parent app instead of the shielded app. Is there any way of doing this using the Screen Time API? class ShieldActionExtension: ShieldActionDelegate {      override func handle(action: ShieldAction, for application: ApplicationToken, completionHandler: @escaping (ShieldActionResponse) -> Void) {     // Handle the action as needed.           let store = ManagedSettingsStore()               switch action {     case .primaryButtonPressed:       //TODO - open parent app       completionHandler(.defer)     case .secondaryButtonPressed:       //remove shield       store.shield.applications?.remove(application)       completionHandler(.defer)         @unknown default:       fatalError()     }   }   }
