Not for us, unfortunately. The issue is present throughout iOS 26, 26.1 and 26.2. Multiple radars filed already, but no response / fix in sight. [quote='868578022, kgaidis, /thread/793747?answerId=868578022#868578022, /profile/kgaidis'] iOS 26.1 seems to maybe have fixed it [/quote]

I’m curious what you mean with that. im also sometimes under the impression that my device is cursed when it comes to screen time, because there are so so many bugs. But then again, it’s not just me: we get user reports every day with complaints about bugs related to the Screen Time API. [quote='868587022, kgaidis, /thread/809410?answerId=868587022#868587022, /profile/kgaidis'] odd side-effect due to my device state [/quote]

Hello, could you please check if there has been an update on our bug reports? They show unchanged on my side, but I am under the impression that something has been changed with iOS 26 / 26.1 / 26.2 beta. This is my radar from October 2024: FB15544362 [quote='822829022, Engineer, /thread/773290?answerId=822829022#822829022'] There's no supported way for you to customize the picker with the APIs currently available. [/quote]

You can’t unfortunately. More info on this thread: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/766644?page=1

Unfortunately, no. You can use private API (which many apps do), but that’s risking having your developer account terminated, so not really an option if you’re serious about your business. [quote='866869022, honzon, /thread/766644?answerId=866869022#866869022, /profile/honzon'] Have you found a solution yet? [/quote]

I’m having the same question. Would be great if Apple shared the workaround!

[quote='867384022, nemecek_f, /thread/793747?answerId=867384022#867384022, /profile/nemecek_f'] Did Apple respond to any of the feedbacks? Is there any change in iOS 26.1? [/quote] unfortunately nothing helpful: they just claim that they cannot reproduce the issue and it behaves correctly on their side. here’s my radar for reference: FB18061981

They even have an app on the store which implements the functionality as well to open the parent App directly from the ShieldActionDelegate: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/wellspent-replace-scrolling/id1643980844 [quote='840165022, ScottySy, /thread/766644?answerId=840165022#840165022, /profile/ScottySy'] This company is now selling this exact functionality as an SDK: https://www.wellspent.so [/quote]

Hey, could you please follow up if you can still reproduce this issue on iOS 26 (final release), iOS 26.0.1, or iOS 26.1 beta 1? [quote='854406022, CaliforniaJay, /thread/793747?answerId=854406022#854406022, /profile/CaliforniaJay'] I filed feedback: FB19738834 [/quote]

[quote='857860022, AliR, /thread/793747?answerId=857860022#857860022, /profile/AliR'] Is this still an issue in September, and only three days before public launch? [/quote] Yes unfortunately it is, we are being flooded with user complaints! @Apple Engineer pls help!!

[quote='332462022, arlomedia, /thread/108057?answerId=332462022#332462022, /profile/arlomedia'] this capability should be coming soon [/quote] Thanks a lot for the update! Do you know if this capability has been added by now? Would be super useful to know!

Hey @CaliforniaJay! I just wanted to follow up with you about this – I am currently creating a sample project for Apple to reproduce this. I think it would also help if you could reproduce the issue on Public Beta 4 / Developer Beta 7 and attach another sysdiagnose to your radar. Thanks a lot for your help on this, I hope we can address this before iOS 26 gets shipped!

[quote='797430021, TrevSchmidt, /thread/797430, /profile/TrevSchmidt'] have the button that starts the task open up the main application and deeplink to the focus view [/quote] This is not possible unfortunately. We have filed many bug reports on this but Apple has not addressed this so far. This has also been a topic on the dev forums a couple of times: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/793060 There are some apps that use private API and App reviews seems to be fine with that because these apps are on the store. However, Apple is not telling us which API they are using which seems a bit unfair. I would encourage you to file a bug report as well. That’s all we can do for now. And fingers crossed Apple stops neglecting this framework at some point… Here are my bug reports on this: FB18846650 FB15500681 FB15079668

[quote='750847021, s.mojtaba, /thread/750847, /profile/s.mojtaba'] FamilyActivityPicker crash randomly [/quote] Please try again on the latest iOS 26 beta (beta 6 or newer). This should have been addressed by now. At least on my device I can no longer reproduce the crash.
