Reply to Family Controls + Device Activity Entitlement Missing from Provisioning Profiles (Xcode, iOS App Extensions)
Hello everyone, I’m following up because we’re still hitting the same issue even after following all the instructions provided earlier. What we did: We have a Digital Wellbeing app called Breakloop with three App IDs: bl.Breakloop (main app) bl.Breakloop.BreakloopMonitorExtension bl.Breakloop.BreakloopShieldConfigurationExtension We filled out the Family Controls distribution request form for each bundle ID separately as Quinn advised. Apple approved all of them, and in the Developer Portal each App ID shows Family Controls enabled. Our entitlements files for the extensions include both: <key>com.apple.developer.family-controls</key><true/> <key>com.apple.developer.device-activity</key><true/> We recreated certificates, provisioning profiles, and cleaned everything multiple times. Xcode Signing & Capabilities points to the correct profiles for each target. The problem: Provisioning profiles for the extension targets still do not include com.apple.developer.device-activity, so the build fails with: Provisioning profile "Breakloop_Monitor_DEV2" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.device-activity entitlement. What we need clarity on: Is there any additional approval needed specifically for com.apple.developer.device-activity, or should it automatically come with Family Controls? Has anyone here successfully built extensions using Family Controls + Device Activity recently? Is this a known bug with the Developer Portal or Xcode provisioning profiles? We’ve been stuck for weeks, followed every step exactly, and are still blocked at the same point. Any guidance or working examples would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!
