Supported US API for voluntary screen-time summaries shared between two adults?
We are evaluating a native iOS feature for Kept, a two-adult daily-connection app, with initial customers physically in the United States using US-region Apple Accounts. Each adult would independently authorize access on their own iPhone and opt in to share daily total screen time and per-app names/minutes with one paired adult through our backend. Each person would preview the same summary their partner receives and could stop sharing or unpair at any time. Neither could configure or enforce restrictions on the other's device. Any app blocking would be separately controlled by the device owner. We do not need message contents, websites visited, or a live activity feed. We have reviewed: DeviceActivityReport, whose extension isolates usage data and prevents networking. DeviceActivityData.activityData(filteredBy:using:), whose documented customer availability is limited to EU devices/accounts, despite broader development testing access. Developer Program License Agreement section 3.3.3 P, which raises a separate question about sharing usage information between adults. Is there a documented, supported API that allows the containing app to obtain and transmit these summaries for US customer installations? If so, which API, minimum OS/SDK, authorization, entitlement, and distribution requirements apply? A local usage report or a threshold notification would not meet the requested summary format. We are at feasibility stage: no native build, entitlement request, or device results yet. We are seeking a supported route rather than an extension-sandbox workaround. If no US route exists, confirmation would help us avoid building against development-only access. Separate agreement/support question For the use case above, does Apple's agreement permit transmitting user-authorized Screen Time measurements to that user's paired adult through our backend? Please clarify how section 3.3.3 P applies and which team can assess this use and any required distribution capability. We understand that individual device-management approval does not by itself establish permission for partner sharing. We have not enrolled in the paid Developer Program yet.
