[quote='728498021, _anteloper, /thread/728498, /profile/_anteloper'] FamilyActivityPicker freezes and crashes [/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.

[quote='849286022, alpennec, /thread/790120?answerId=849286022#849286022, /profile/alpennec'] Definitely an issue with the Screen Time API. [/quote] That does not surprise me at all. Just one more bug added to the long long list of Apple Screen Time Bugs 😭

[quote='796329021, kwanTheDev, /thread/796329, /profile/kwanTheDev'] Is this a known bug? [/quote] This is one of the many bugs of the Screen Time API. Please consider filing a bug report on https://feedbackassistant.apple.com to make sure Apple is aware.

[quote='797162021, Roshan_Owaves, /thread/797162, /profile/Roshan_Owaves'] If not, is it expected that this data is only available in the Settings app and not exposed to developers? [/quote] Unfortunately, the only way to access this data is within a sandboxed DeviceActivityReport Extension, as you have correctly stated. So there’s no way for you to extract the data and use it for something else. Seems like Apple is keeping that functionality for themselves. You could try filing a feedback request via https://feedbackassistant.apple.com to make sure they’ll consider adding this.

[quote='729818021, CaliforniaJay, /thread/729818, /profile/CaliforniaJay'] Is there ay way to accomplish passing a token from the sandboxed report extension to my app? [/quote] Unfortunately, this is not possible. As you have stated, tokens are not sensitive data, but Screen Time usage data is. So Apple is not allowing ANY data to leave the sandboxed DeviceActivityReport :/

[quote='854401022, CaliforniaJay, /thread/793747?answerId=854401022#854401022, /profile/CaliforniaJay'] I'm on iOS26 Public Beta 3 [/quote] Public beta 4 just dropped. Can you still reproduce?

[quote='854399022, CaliforniaJay, /thread/793747?answerId=854399022#854399022, /profile/CaliforniaJay'] Only the one call right after scheduling and for me it's consistently doing this. [/quote] That’s Bad! @Apple: Please fix this! Just relying on the schedule is unfortunately not an option for me. I need the threshold trigger :/

[quote='854401022, CaliforniaJay, /thread/793747?answerId=854401022#854401022, /profile/CaliforniaJay'] it is still called immediately upon scheduling the activity [/quote] That’s super interesting to know! I am unable to reproduce it right now (usually I can only reproduce it after installing a new beta, then when I reset the permission it works again). So I would love to know if you still see the threshold callback being called when it actually should (= a second time), or do you just get that one call right after scheduling? Because in that case we could quite easily implement a workaround that just ignores threshold callbacks that happen right after scheduling the activity (stupid that this is necessary, but at least I can see this working quite reliably…)

[quote='854401022, CaliforniaJay, /thread/793747?answerId=854401022#854401022, /profile/CaliforniaJay'] Also, for me, cycling (turn off and re-granting) Screen Time permissions didn't fix anything. [/quote] Thanks a lot for sharing! I’m a bit worried that we are so late in the beta cycle and this is still not addressed. Did you file a feedback request with sysdiagnose as well? If yes, please share your feedback number so I can reference it in my bug report (& you can do the same, just to make sure our bug reports end up being merged which hopefully gives them a higher priority)

[quote='852356022, DTS Engineer, /thread/758325?answerId=852356022#852356022'] Unfortunately I don’t have any answers for you here. This seems like a bug to me. I’ve verified that your variosu bug reports have found their way to the right engineering team. [/quote] Thanks for the update, Quinn! I’ll try to find a different path then to get some attention for this bug. Thanks a lot for your help so far on this!

[quote='848582022, DTS Engineer, /thread/758325?answerId=848582022#848582022'] I’ve confirmed that that bug has the right info and it’s landed in the right place. That’s about all I can do here. I’ve set myself a remember to come back and check on this in a week. [/quote] Hey Quinn! Hope you’re having a great summer! Maybe you’re on vacation and haven't had a chance to check back on this, but I’d appreciate an update whenever you have a moment 🙏 Thanks a lot and have a great day!

[quote='794802021, cspeir1818, /thread/794802, /profile/cspeir1818'] Is this expected behavior? Is there a way to prevent Screen Time from counting time while the shield is shown? [/quote] this sounds like a bug to me. Have you filed a feedback request already? I am experiencing the same problem And I would say it’s unexpected behavior. my feedback is tracked under FB19200003

[quote='848582022, DTS Engineer, /thread/758325?answerId=848582022#848582022'] I’ve set myself a remember to come back and check on this in a week. [/quote] Hey Quinn! I just wanted to let you know that I was still able to reproduce this on iOS 26 beta 4 which came out on Tuesday. To further help narrow down the bug, I have collected another sysdiagnose on that latest beta and attached it to this feedback: FB18764644 (Filename: sysdiagnose_2025.07.26…) Hope that helps! Also, I’m really curious if you’ve heard anything back from the team! Do they need any additional help reproducing this issue? My offer still stands: if any additional help to reproduce this is required, I’ll fly all the way to Cupertino to help them out wherever I can!

This just happened again on iOS 26 beta 4: FB19018706 (Yesterday’s bug report happened on beta 3). This is definitely a serious problem, and I urge the Screen Time team to address this before iOS 26 gets released to the public.
