Hello Apple Developer Community,
I am currently exploring the Screen Time API and its potential for creating a parental control-style application. However, I have a slightly different use case in mind that I need some guidance on.
I am wondering if it is possible to use the Screen Time API to create a monitoring application for a consenting adult, instead of the traditional parent-child scenario provided by the Family Sharing setup. For example, if a friend of mine wants to apply an internet filter on their iPhone and have me monitor it, can I create an app to do so?
To elaborate, I'm envisioning a setup similar to how the 'Find My Friends' app allows us to locate our friends (who are not necessarily a part of our family) after obtaining their consent. Is it possible to leverage the capabilities of the Screen Time API to create a 'monitoring' app on my device that can track and control aspects of my friend's device usage without having to engage the Family Sharing and Family Controls frameworks?
I understand that privacy and consent are paramount in such a situation, but this is a scenario between two consenting adults. This is purely for the purpose of assisting my friend in managing their digital habits more effectively.
I appreciate any insights or advice that the community can provide on this topic.
Thank you in advance!
