I'm from Vietnam, and I opened a business account for my company, but it's taken 3 months already, and it's still being processed :)) what's wrong with Apple? How a startup company can survive to waiting for an account to release the product? I don't know how long it takes, but it's too funny.

Cannot enroll to developer account: "Your apple id is not eligible to use this application at this time"

I've added ShieldConfigurationExtension to my project. The only thing that doesn't work for me is proper color for System Appearance. Let's say I only wants to change color of title for shield, I create color in Asset Catalog with different light and dark appearance then create ShieldConfiguration as shown: ShieldConfiguration(title: ShieldConfiguration.Label( text: "My title", color: UIColor(named: "mycolor") ?? .systemGray )) This will make the title to be one of the variant of mycolor BUT it looks to be randomly selected. Sometimes it has light appearance, sometimes dark and not always match selected system appearance. Other UI elements that I didn't set are properly changing theirs colors. On the other hand if I use some system colors, it works as expected: ShieldConfiguration(title: ShieldConfiguration.Label( text: "My title", color: .label )) .label will always has proper color - white for dark mode and black for light I've tried to use mycolor inside main app and there it works as it should so the problem is happening only in ShieldConfigurationExtension

Hi ! We are super exited to switch to Xcode 15 when it will be released, but we have a major issue : Apps built with Xcode 15 beta fail to show DeviceActivityReport base view on iOS 16.

It's 100% reproductible with a very simple sample project If you guys could report the issue as well, it would be nice !

Hello! Rookie Swift developer here! I am trying to make an app that uses the Screen Time API to block a list of websites. Specifically, I want it to take a list of web domains in String format and restrict them instead of using the FamilyActivityPicker. So far, I have been unsuccessful. When using the FamilyActivityPicker, I have been able to restrict websites by modifying the shield instance variable of the ManagedSettingsStore. let store = ManagedSettingsStore() // Got selection from familyActivityPicker. store.shield.webDomains = selection.webDomainTokens "store.shield.webDomains" is of type "Set<Token>" and as far as I know, you can create a WebDomain struct with a String url but not Token. I was only able to get a token using the FamilyActivityPicker. Hence, I was wondering if it was even possible to do this and if so, how you'd go about it. Thanks!

Hi, has anyone been able to make to work the new geofence Item under Object CellularPrivateNetwork Object, I was able to create the mobileconfig file and install it on the a Iphone 13 with iOS 17 Beta 7 without error but looks like the geofence is not actually working at all, since the properties of the object are not reflecting at all on the actual operation of the phone, specifically CellularDataPreferred and CellularPrivateNetwork.GeofenceItem any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I am looking for a way to ensure that every time I close Safari on my mobile device, all open tabs are automatically closed and the browser history is cleared. This is to enhance privacy and keep the browser experience clean each time I access it. I've searched through Safari's settings but haven't found an option for this. I'm wondering if there is a built-in feature I might have missed, or if it's possible to develop an extension or use any other method to achieve this.

Hello, I have a mobile game company, but the account where we uploaded the games was closed due to non-payment and we did not renew the domain of our mail. Is there any chance I can recover the account? If I recover it, will the games be deleted?

Hello! I'm new to iOS development and am developing an app that blocks certain websites. At the moment, I'm thinking of using the Network Extension capability to do the job. From what I have read, in the production version of the app, you'd need to make use of MDM profiles since NE filtering only works on supervised devices. So, I'm here to ask the community if there are better options than using this method. As far as screen time api is concerned, I believe it requires the user to specify which websites they want blocked by themselves using the activity picker so that doesn't quite work for me since i want to allow the app to block groups of websites by itself based on the user's preference. Thanks!

Hello, I am curious if someone else also noticed this. We have started getting reports about our app not working correctly (mostly related to the Device Activity monitor that "runs" in the background, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/deviceactivity/deviceactivitymonitor). Upon checking the Xcode Organizer I can see somewhat significant amount of crashes that mostly appear to happen on iOS 16.6 - it is possible that our users don't wait with updating iOS but still looks suspicious. The crashes are related to ManagedSettings calls outside our own code. We haven't changes this code in a while so this coupled with the fact that these crashes happen "deep" in the ManagedSettings framework leads me to believe there is some other issue.

Is there any way to show the user system apps in the FamilyActivityPicker? Specifically, I am asking about Safari. I am working on an app that allows users to block other apps, and I am trying to figure out whether I can make this functionality available for Safari.

Hello Apple Developer Community, We're experiencing a critical issue with the Screen Time frameworks, and it's affecting one of our users severely. I'm hoping someone here can provide guidance or a potential solution. Details: Our app offers a feature using the ManagedSettings shield that lets users block all apps based on a set schedule. After the scheduled block ends, the apps are expected to become accessible again. In one case, a user reported that the apps did not unblock after the schedule ended. Upon trying to manually end the session from within our app, the app only displays a blank white screen. The user attempted to disable Screen Time access for our app via the iOS settings, but the apps remained blocked. Even after completely disabling Screen Time from the settings or restarting the phone, the apps stayed blocked. Interestingly, I attempted to replicate the issue on my end by toggling Screen Time settings and restarting, but everything worked as expected and I could not reproduce the problem. This issue, though seemingly isolated, has rendered a user's phone virtually unusable, and highlights a potential high-impact bug within the Screen Time framework. It feels necessary for there to be a "master off-switch" or a fail-safe mechanism in these scenarios. Any insights, solutions, or workarounds would be deeply appreciated. It's crucial for us to support our user and resolve this promptly. Thank you in advance!

If a user has Screen Time limits set up for certain apps, will that interfere with my app that allows users to restrict app usage using the Screen Time API? I've had some users experiencing this issue (they have Screen Time limits set up for apps, and my app isn't able to restrict those and/or other apps), but I haven't been able to find a reliable pattern yet. Has anyone else encountered this?

We are developing an application that utilizes the Screen Time API. As outlined in Apple's documentation on family controls(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/familycontrols/), we are obtaining authorization as follows: Task(priority: .high) {                 do {                     try await AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .child)                     NSLog("Authorization State ~ AUTHORIZED")                 }catch let error {                     NSLog("Authorization ERROR: \(error.localizedDescription)")                 }             } As mentioned in the documentation, once the app is authorized for family controls, the user should not be able to delete the app without giving the parent iCloud credentials. When deleting the app, the prompt for entering the parent iCloud credentials is shown sometimes and in some unknown cases, the prompt is not shown and the app is deleted without requiring the parent’s iCloud account.

ShieldActionDelegate called .secondaryButtonPressed with secondaryButtonLabel == nil. Step to reproduce: Make configure ShieldConfiguration with primaryButtonLabel configure only. Add some method (in my case I add unblock all) in ShieldActionDelegate by case .secondaryButtonPressed On Shield make a few taps on secondary button area see attached image handle(action: ShieldAction, for application: ApplicationToken ... for case .secondaryButtonPressed called - it's wrong, I don't have second button configured, but action is called.

I have been unable to get ANY Apple Developer support today. The phone number I had connected to my business Apple Developer account is changed and it seems the only way that the Apple website can authenticate is by THAT number and does not even offer email as an alternative solution to login and change my phone number. Nobody at Apple Support can connect me to a single Apple Developer contact and NOBODY seems capable of solving this problem. Why pay for this developer platform if there isn't any support?

My company has recently finalized a contract with another company that had 2FA enabled for one of our email accounts associated with our PlayStore developer account. Regrettably, we have lost contact with this company and now require the modification of the 2FA currently registered on their phone. How do I get in contact directly with a person from apples support?

Having trouble in signing in to iCloud when a managed supervised iPhone is restricted with few apps using “allowListedAppBundleIDs” restrictions key. Only iPhone has this trouble, this issue is not reproducible in iPad. Even after entering the Apple ID and password, the account seems to be not logged in. Have attached screenshots for reference. Tested device iOS Version : 17.1 Kindly explain this behaviour. Feedback ID : #FB13318247 - Sysdiagnose logs attached here.

My app sends screen time awareness notifications based on DeviceActivityMonitor thresholds. Often, users receive two notifications in a row for the same screen time threshold. This means that the app extension is triggering the same eventDidReachThreshold callback function twice for the same threshold. I've made sure that there is only one activity schedule being monitored. This happens often, but not every time (over 50% of the time). Anybody else experience this issue, and any way to mitigate it?
