How to shield categories with the ManagedSettingsStore?

Hello, I am not quite sure, how the shielding of entire categories of apps is supposed to work. The FamilyActivitySelection contains tokens for apps, websites and categories. But the shield property of ManagedSettingsStore has only attributes applications and webDomains where I can configure the tokens from the family activity selection. shield.applications = selection.applicationTokens shield.webDomains = selection.webDomainTokens I would expect there to be the property categories that expects Set<ActivityCategoryToken> and based on this shields apps in that category.

How to share ApplicationToken with DeviceAcvivityMonitorExtension

To shield applications, we have to pass ApplicationTokens to DeviceAcvivityMonitorExtension. But I don't know the way. I tried to pass it by using NSUserDefaults. However, it didn't work because ApplicationToken isn't encodable. So I can't save it in UserDefaults Does anyone knows the way to pass ApplicationTokens to the Extension or another way to shield apps?

How to fetch all previously configured ManagedSettingsStores?

Is there a way to get all instances of ManagedSettingsStore that my app has previously configured? I managed to get into a situation, where I removed the identifier in my database, but forgot to clear the store and now the app is shielding couple of apps and I am unable to stop it. What is the proper workflow for this?

Screen Time API How to send restrict information from parent to child

I want to know the structure how to send restrict information from parent to child. When parent sets restriction on parent's device, that information is reflected on the child's device and the child is restricted from using the app and device. I want to know how the restrictions set on the parent's device are transmitted to the child's device. Also, I want to know how to do it. I could even call requestAuthorization and succeed. Does anyone know this?

Cannot access ManagedSettingsStore in extensions

Hi everyone, I am trying to change the settings when the shield button is clicked. When I called let store = ManagedSettingsStore() in the ShieldAction extension, store.shield.applications is nil. How can I access the instance created in the host app? Besides, has anyone ever tried to change the shield UI after clicking a button on the shield screen? I've searched around but no luck. is there any way I can notify the host app for further actions? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you very much. Sorry I don't know why I can't add the wwdc21-10123 tag.

Would it be possible to add a passcode in order to add or remove a manual DNS configuration?

Systems like OpenDNS are basically rendered useless on iPhones and iPads because you can just go into settings and remove the manual configuration. Would it be possible to maybe add a feature (like on Mac) where you need a passcode (maybe the same passcode for screen time) to access the DNS configuration? Thank you!

Redirect e-mail updates from AppStore Connect

Hi, our team uses the "info" mail address (Apple ID) for the AppStore Connect. I would like to redirect the mails from AppStore Connect to my account because I am the developer and the info mail address account is quite full of update mails... Is it possible to do so? Or do we need to change the account's apple ID to my personal one (which is actually not the preferred solution) ? Best, Michael

How to check password policy that is been applied to macOS

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.

Certificate Authentication using Enterprise SSO

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
