Hello Albert!
I am experiencing some strange bugs around DeviceActivityEvents (part of the DeviceActivity framework) on iOS 26 / iOS 26.1 / iOS 26.2 beta:
When creating a DeviceActivityEvent we can assign a threshold and applicationTokens.
The idea is, that after the user has spent said threshold on said apps, eventDidReachThreshold() is called.
The property includesPastActivity is set to false.
On iOS 26 however, it happens (quite reliably after updating to a new beta seed) quite often that eventDidReachThreshold() is called immediately (after a couple of seconds) instead of waiting for the threshold to be met.
Is anyone else seeing similar issues on iOS 26 / iOS 26.1 / iOS 26.2 beta?
Only workaround I have found is to ask users to revoke and re-grant Screen Time permissions. This only holds for about two weeks though or at most until the next iOS 26 beta update is installed, so it is not a permanent solution unfortunately.
Feedback (incl. sysdiagnoses and sample project) is filed under:

One of our users has filed their own feedback request as well:

Thanks a lot for any help on this!
