I am developing a project with the Screen Time API, and I cannot understand why the methods inside DeviceActivityMonitor extension are not being called. Some points to note:
I do start by requesting authorization from the User (this is working as expected when opening the app)
Both the DeviceActivityMonitor Extension and the main app are under the same App Group
I have added Family Controls capability to both targets and have the developer account to use it.
I start by calling center.startMonitoring()
I have overridden the original methods.
Yet, when startMonitoring is called, there is no action that is supposed to be taken that is being taken, and as far as I can tell, the methods aren't even being called.
Here are some relevant snippets of code:
// EXT
class DeviceActivityMonitorExtension: DeviceActivityMonitor {
override func intervalDidStart(for activity: DeviceActivityName) {
super.intervalDidStart(for: activity)
let store = ManagedSettingsStore(named: .daily)
}
override func intervalDidEnd(for activity: DeviceActivityName) {
super.intervalDidEnd(for: activity)
let store = ManagedSettingsStore(named: .daily)
store.clearAllSettings()
}
override func eventDidReachThreshold(_ event: DeviceActivityEvent.Name, activity: DeviceActivityName) {
super.eventDidReachThreshold(event, activity: activity)
let store = ManagedSettingsStore(named: .daily)
let model = BeeFreeModel.shared
let applications = model.selectionToDiscourage.applicationTokens
let categories = model.selectionToDiscourage.categoryTokens
let webDomains = model.selectionToDiscourage.webDomainTokens
store.shield.applications = applications.isEmpty ?
nil : applications
store.shield.applicationCategories = categories.isEmpty ?
nil : ShieldSettings.ActivityCategoryPolicy.specific(categories)
store.shield.webDomains = webDomains.isEmpty ?
nil : webDomains
}
}
// APP
extension DeviceActivityName {
static let daily = Self("daily")
}
extension DeviceActivityEvent.Name {
static let discouraged = Self("discouraged")
}
let schedule = DeviceActivitySchedule(
intervalStart: DateComponents(hour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0),
intervalEnd: DateComponents(hour: 23, minute: 59, second: 59),
repeats: true
)
class BeeFreeSchedule {
static public func setSchedule() {
print("Setting schedule...")
print("Hour is: ", Calendar.current.dateComponents([.hour, .minute], from: Date()).hour!)
let events: [DeviceActivityEvent.Name: DeviceActivityEvent] = [
.discouraged: DeviceActivityEvent(
applications: BeeFreeModel.shared.selectionToDiscourage.applicationTokens,
categories: BeeFreeModel.shared.selectionToDiscourage.categoryTokens,
webDomains: BeeFreeModel.shared.selectionToDiscourage.webDomainTokens,
threshold: BeeFreeModel.shared.thresholdToDiscourage
)
]
let center = DeviceActivityCenter()
do {
print("Try to start monitoring...")
// Call startMonitoring with the activity name, schedule, and events
try center.startMonitoring(.daily, during: schedule, events: events)
} catch {
print("Error monitoring schedule: ", error)
}
}
}
// APP
class BeeFreeModel: ObservableObject {
// Import ManagedSettings to get access to the application shield restriction
let store = ManagedSettingsStore()
//@EnvironmentObject var store: ManagedSettingsStore
@Published var selectionToDiscourage: FamilyActivitySelection
@Published var thresholdToDiscourage: DateComponents
@Published var setOfApps: [String]
init() {
selectionToDiscourage = FamilyActivitySelection()
thresholdToDiscourage = DateComponents()
var setOfAppIdentifiers: Set<String?> = Set<String?>()
setOfApps = [String]()
if selectionToDiscourage.applicationTokens.isEmpty {}
else {
for application in BeeFreeModel.shared.selectionToDiscourage.applications {
setOfAppIdentifiers.insert(application.localizedDisplayName)
setOfApps = setOfAppIdentifiers.compactMap { $0 }.sorted()
}
}
}
class var shared: BeeFreeModel {
return _BeeFreeModel
}
func setSelection() {
let applications = BeeFreeModel.shared.selectionToDiscourage
}
func changeThreshold(threshold: DateComponents) {
thresholdToDiscourage = threshold
}
}
// APP
/// ...
Button("Select Apps to Discourage") {
isDiscouragedPresented = true
}
.familyActivityPicker(isPresented: $isDiscouragedPresented, selection: $model.selectionToDiscourage)
}
.onChange(of: model.selectionToDiscourage) {
BeeFreeModel.shared.setSelection()
}
// ...
// ...
Button("Save Time") {
saveTime()
let new_threshold = DateComponents(hour: savedTime?.hours,
minute: savedTime?.minutes,
second: savedTime?.seconds)
model.changeThreshold(threshold: new_threshold)
}
}
.onChange(of: model.thresholdToDiscourage) {
BeeFreeSchedule.setSchedule()
// ...
I believe I am using the latest stable version of Xcode (recently deleted and reinstalled). I'm really new to mobile development to Swift so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you! :)
