Hi,

I have an approved com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement for my main app bundle (com.maxflame.prove-it) and submitted a request on April 18, 2026 to extend it to an embedded extension:

com.maxflame.prove-it.DeviceActivityMonitorExtension

Request ID: 65CKJZ7DQ4 — status still shows "Submitted" with no further response.

The extension uses DeviceActivity callbacks and needs to decode FamilyActivitySelection, which requires the entitlement on the extension bundle as well.

In my experience, Family Controls entitlement approvals for the main app bundle have come through within 24 hours. It's now been 5 days with no response for this extension request, which seems unusual.

Has anyone else gone through this for extension bundle IDs? Did you need to submit a separate request per bundle, or did Apple extend the approval to your extensions automatically once the main app was approved? And has anyone else experienced longer wait times specifically for extension bundles?

Any guidance appreciated.

@maxflame Please re-submit your request using https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/family-controls-distribution

If Apple approves your request, the entitlement is scoped to your team. You no longer need to submit a request for individual bundle IDs for the Family Controls entitlement in your account.

I’ve already submitted a request through that link earlier. I’ve now submitted a new request again as well. Could you please check and let me know if anything else is needed from my side?
