WWDC21 session 10123 shows a screen that implies the guardian instance of your app is able to select apps on your child's device to encourage or to control. In my experience with the API so far I can't see a way to do this. The API only seems to work on the child's phone. Here are my questions: Is there a suggested way to determine whether the app is running on a guardian device? The only way I can see is to attempt AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization and check for an error value of .invalidAccountType. But it seems you could get that error for other reasons too. Is there a way to present FamilyActivityPicker on the guardian device but have it show apps on the child's phone? I don't see any thing in the API for selecting a child account to access with `FamilyActivityPicker', it seems to only show the phone's user's apps (or no apps if it's the guardian's phone). After retrieving app tokens from 'FamilyActivityPicker' is there a recommended way to present to the user in the UI? The WWDC session shows an app icon and app name (i.e. "Books" and "Solar System"), but my understanding is that info is hidden from the developer for privacy reasons. So I'm wondering if the example in the session is really feasible.

Hello! Does anybody know release date of "Family Control" capability for Distribution? iOS 15 was released, but "Family Control" is still available only for Development Distribution: We can't create Distribution provision profile for testing via TestFlight right now. Furthermore we can't proof that Content Filter Providers will be work on authorized Family Control devices without any restrictions and additional setup (see Content Filter Providers with Family Control app)
