Hello,

I’m presenting the familyActivityPicker from a presented sheet in my application.

When I select some apps, categories or websites and tap “Done”, the familyActivityPicker is dismissed but the presenting sheet is also dismissed on iOS 18.4, iOS 18.5, iOS 26 beta 1 and 2. If I tap on “Cancel” from the familyActivityPicker, the sheet is also dismissed on iOS 18.4, iOS 18.5, iOS 26 beta 1 and 2.

The same code works perfectly fine on iOS 18.0, iOS 18.1, iOS 18.2 and iOS 18.3.

Is this a known-issue?

If opened the feedback FB18369821 for this.

Regards, Axel

Have you tried what happens if you present a normal SwiftUI sheet from the sheet instead of the FamilyActivityPicker?

→ Does it lead to the same unexpected behavior? Then it’s likely a SwiftUI bug/

Otherwise, have you tried embedding the FamilyActivityPicker inside a SwiftUI view and present that instead? Does the unexpected behavior still reproduce?

Presenting a standard sheet works fine. Even if I present 10 sheets on top of the others, it never dismisses all at the same time.

Wrapping the FamilyActivityPicker inside a custom View and presenting with a sheet works fine.

Definitely an issue with the Screen Time API.

Definitely an issue with the Screen Time API.

That does not surprise me at all.

Just one more bug added to the long long list of Apple Screen Time Bugs 😭
