In familyActivityPicker I can select Apps and Categories but there is no way to add websites. In Apple own screentime App same control (familyActivityPicker) provides a way to add websites. Is there some sort of settings/entitlement or capability required to added in the project?

We have macOS 12.2 installed, we had a requirement of adding password policy where we could define such as password length, password expiry, etc so applied password policy through a password_policy.sh script which I'm attaching. We have an audit going on so we need to provide them evidence that we have applied the password policy but we're unable to give them the same. Could you please help us and send us one terminal command through which we get the output of the password policy that is being applied.

Hi, In a managed environment, will apps/enterprise SSO extensions have access to digital identities installed at a system-wide level? I did try with ASWebAuthentication/Safari, both of them can pick the certificate but the SSO extension with URLSession cannot. Is there a challenge that needs to be handled? I did try with redirect extension. Also, a native app that is only deployed in the managed environment can have access to the digital identity that is installed at the system level? What are my options to do a certificate authentication? Thanks

when I tried to run build: ios, I get this error: Network timeout: "AccessForbiddenError", "Apple 403 detected - access denied". Retry in 3 seconds

Hello, Thank you Chris & Nolan for the wonderful Screen Time API demo! I would like to apply this new functionality to limit a child's communication with a specific contact selected by a parent during, "Homework" hours. I would like to configure the shield to ONLY restrict the chat log of the specified contact, not the entire Messages application. At the end of "Homework" hours I would like the child to be able to view any missed messages or calls they received, while this contact was restricted. It does not appear that a parent can specify communication limits within managed settings without using lockCellularPlan or shielding the entire app with the familyactivitypicker. Can we configure downtime restrictions using this API? If you could point me to the correct part of the framework so I can further investigate how to implement this, that would be very helpful. Thank you!

Does screen time api blocks an app if it is not available on the app store anymore but it is still installed on a child device?

Hi We have a MDM solution where we would like to offer the ability/feature to wipe appdata from Managed iOS apps on a device that is enrolled to MDM solution and has MDM profile installed. So that we from MDM console can send a command to this managed device with the purpose to cleanup/clear appdate from defined Managed apps, hence the purpose that when user clicks on the app again, then all personal settings, data, profile etc. are gone and acts as if it is the first time the app is opened.

Hi There, I have been experiencing same issue on multiple Macbooks in our company, where MacOS fails to accept the password to authorise System wide changes in System Preferences. We didnot upgrade from catalina or any other version since our Macbooks came with Big Sur out of the Box. The same Admin account works fine to login to Mac but when it comes to make any changes in System Preferences it wont let me(even to update the MacOS version to Monterey). when I enter the admin password it shakes the windows and does nothing. Please do note, wiping and or erasing is not an option at the moment. I tried to search the issue on Google, and found some many other Mac users have this issue too and only few of them have this thing resolved by resetting their SMC, which is not possible because all we have in our school is M1 macbooks, which doesnot have any support to reset the SMC. I would appreciate any quick support on this issue. Thanks

is blocking and shielding can be done when the case is 2 completely separate apps one for the parent and one for the child and not one app that have 2 types of users (parent and child)?

I have created the app that uses Screen Time API (Device Activity, Managed Settings and Family Control). I have allowed on child device block and unblock apps that are selected in familyPicker, but I have to add ability to unblock these apps for some period of time. I have tried this:             do {                     center.stopMonitoring()                     try center.startMonitoring(.unblock, during: schedule, events: [.encouraged: DeviceActivityEvent(                         applications: applications.applicationTokens,                         threshold: DateComponents(second: 30)                     )])                     print("Unblock apps")                 } catch {                     print("Error")                 } Maybe I have to use another way to do it? but this doesn't work for me.

So I play among us on my iPad and when I try to sign in it will say I can’t use apple account on other apps can you make kids accounts sign in with Game Center and only share our username and account info excluding email and phone number

It would be really helpful for people trying to limit their usage and much safer for others to have the option to choose between 4 digits, 6 digits or even alpha numerical passcodes for Screen time. I have not found the option from my research, is it something I have overlooked. Or is this not a feature (yet) ?

Whenever I go next to my iPad, my iPhone automatically turns on the "Privacy and Restrictions" Both devices are new and completely up to date.

In ios14 I was able to disable web SQL in the settings menu. However in ios15 the option to disable it is not there. I'm running an app that when opening, it warns me that SQLite is not supported. How can I disable web SQL? Thanks

i managed to shield app according to selection from the picker on the child app. i noticed that the threshold is for all the usage time of al the apps combined together. that means that if the threshold is 10 minutes and i used one of the selected apps 5 minutes and the other one for 5 minutes they both will be blocked. what i'm trying to do is that if each an app reached the threshold only it will be shielded anyone knows how to to this?

There are 2 types of login in the application one for Parents and one for Children. Once the parent has signed up and set his profile, then he will be able to add multiple students. Students will be able to log in to the app using the QA code provided by the parent. Once the students have logged in successfully, the Parent can set their restrictions that which applications to be restricted for use. The parent can add scheduled prompts for specific students in terms of hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly. Once the scheduled prompt arrives on the student’s device in terms of notification. The student's device-restricted apps will be locked for a specific amount of time. The student is allowed to complete a subject questionnaire to unlock their device. For eg, there will be a list of 5 questions with multiple options to choose from. If the student gives a minimum of 4 right answers the student’s device will be unlocked or it will be locked for 5 minutes if the count of the correct answers is less than 4. After the 5 minutes [Specific time - predefined] are complete, the student's device will be unlocked. We also created Apple ID for parents and children from family sharing documentation for screen time API. We also implemented authentication functionality with help of the family controls framework after approval we called FamilyActivityPicker as per provided document on family controls we got a view of all categories list but we were unable to see the application list on which depending on their category How we lock all applications depending on he got remote notification in student device  Mac OS:- Bigsur (11.4) System:- Mac mini(M1,2020) Chip:- Apple M1 Memory:- 16GB XCode:- 13

Based off of the new Apple requirement: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=mdkbobfo to allow users to delete an account, we need to clarify requirements. Within the SXM App, we have a Free Tier, as was recommended by Apple. With that model, users get a limited amount of time to explore the app, which then expires. After another set amount of time, they will again have access to the app. During the “black out” time, users will not be able to access the account settings to delete their account. Once the “black out” time lifts, they will have access again. Will this be an issue to getting our app accepted?

is it possible to define only a child on a family in order to get authorization for the screen time api or a parent is mandatory?

in order to block an app i need to have a bundle identifier for the app i want to block and then pass it to the Application constructor like this: Application(bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.calculator") then i can use it inside my app extension to block it in the case of shielding an app the situation is that i need the applicationToken which i tried to get from the Application object and transfer it to my app extension threw NSUserDefaults with no success. it seems that applicationToken value is unreachable and nil when i create an Application object. after this i tried to get an applicationToken of a selected app from the familyActivityPicker and i had success and managed to shield the app i selected. i did all of this on a child device only in a parent device the familyActivityPicker shows only categories and i cant figure out how the connection to the child apps in order to block or shield them will be made my questions are: is it possible to get applicationTokens not from the familyActivityPicker? how the parent app suppose to block an app on the child app without having any apps showing? how a parent app is "talking" with the child app exactly?
