When "Family Control" will be available for AppStore and AdHoc distribution?

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)

There is an Entitlement Request form for distribution with the Screen Time and Family Controls APIs. It has not made it to our Developer Documentation yet, but you can access the form here:

https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/family-controls-distribution

Note that you will need to be logged into your Developer Account to access and submit the form.

I would have expected that with the release of iOS 15 that there would be a Distribution path defined here. Please open a bug report on this and include the following information, the bundle id that you are testing with and the information that you have shared on this thread.

Please respond with the Feedback ID.

Hi, I'm having the same issue. Any update on that?

Hi All, is the API now available for app-store releases? and if not, are there any timelines when it will be available for market releases? Or Any possibility of getting it released with the upcoming iOS 16?
