Hello,
I am facing a critical technical blocker regarding the Family Controls (Screen Time API) entitlement for my app extensions.
Current Situation:
My parent app (com.hayashikento.FocusPact) is already approved for the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement.
However, the associated DeviceActivityMonitorExtension (com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor) and ReportExtension (com.hayashikento.FocusPact.ReportExtension) are still pending entitlement approval.
Technical Issue: Because the extensions lack the Distribution entitlement, ManagedSettings and DeviceActivity triggers (like intervalWillEndWarning) are ignored by the system when testing via TestFlight or in a non-development environment.
As a result, I am unable to verify the core "automatic re-blocking" logic and "usage reporting" features in a real-world scenario. This has completely halted the final QA and TestFlight phase of my project.
Requests: Could an Apple engineer verify if these extension IDs can be linked to my existing approved parent app entitlement?
Is there a specific process to expedite the "linking" of extensions when the main app is already authorized?
App Details: Parent App Bundle ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact
Extension IDs: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor, com.hayashikento.FocusPact.ReportExtension
Apple ID (App)6759132649 I have already submitted the web request forms, but the lack of synchronization between the parent app and extensions is preventing my MVP launch. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
