Thanks for your support!

Also I feel like I need to reply here so anyone who reads the comments here knows that I was wrong and I misunderstood the initial question. The original poster is correct, you can indeed turn off the permission the described way (without requiring the screen time code).

"not located in the EU, and it still asks for Face ID instead of the Screen Time passcode." That’s what I was concerned about. I beliebe the screen time code is a feature which is only available in the EU then…

Perfect!

Not for me, I’m on 26.4 as well and can still reproduce this regularly…

Not for me, I am on 26.4 latest beta (3 or 4?) and I was able to reproduce this regularly… Please don’t thank the Apple engineers too early ;)

I’m sorry, but this is a pretty useless reply from Apple. Please see below your colleague’s reply for how it should be done. they have actually done their job, did some internal research, and answered the OP’s question.

@kgaidis i know that feeling very well 😭 the screen time api is so unreliable, I encounter strange unreproducible bugs all the time (besides obvious bug reproducible issues)

@kgaidis i just tried, for me the behavior on iOS 26.2 RC is the same as on 26.1 and 26.0. What used to be broken is still broken but at least nothing new is broken as far as I can tell

Now I’m a bit afraid. I’m still on 26.2 beta 3 or 4. Will update today to the RC and try to reproduce 😭

Thanks a lot for sharing the link Quinn, I wasn’t aware of that other thread (I guess the title is a bit cryptic). Edit: actually I noticed I’ve previously commented on the thread haha, but somehow didnt get follow-up notifications. I’ve turned them on now!

Thanks for sharing your insights! I would also expect it to populate immediately, but would love to get confirmation from an Apple Engineer on that (or at least clarification in the documentation)!

@Engineer is there any update on this? I am on the latest beta of iOS 18.2, but I am able to reproduce this every single time. Please let me know if the team needs any help reproducing this problem, I have attached a video recording to my radar: FB15307407

Would also love to gain some insights into this! From my side this does NOT make any sense that with every app update theoretically assets of 8GB each have to be re-downloaded even though they are exactly the same. I would expect at least, that the on-demand ressources are then automatically fetched again as well after the app update has been installed (over night, without opening or re-requesting the assets).

Are you 100% sure of that? with Apple intelligence enabled on iPhone 16 (Pro) iPhone mirroring enabled as well would be amazing if this has finally been fixed!
