[quote='849624022, Chris_Soundscape, /thread/793060?answerId=849624022#849624022, /profile/Chris_Soundscape'] Got a response from technical support regarding my ticket. They confirmed that this functionality is not supported, and they were unable to clarify whether other apps (e.g. Jomo, Applocker) are using public methods or not. I think they are just referring to documentation though. Will keep digging. [/quote] Thanks a lot for sharing! Too bad they could not give us guidance :/

[quote='792604021, AleksandrChernyshev, /thread/792604, /profile/AleksandrChernyshev'] Home Screen widget for iOS that displays device usage statistics [/quote] This is not possible unfortunately. The DeviceActivityReport does not work in widgets. But it would be a cool feature for sure! Feedback Requests: FB18927789 FB16409127 I would highly encourage you to file a feedback request on this as well! See also this thread, same issue has already been discussed in 2023 and seems like Apple did not consider the enhancement requests from back then: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/724041

[quote='790789021, Carlos0806, /thread/790789, /profile/Carlos0806'] DeviceActivityCenter startMonitoring cannot start multiple monitors [/quote] Hello, we have an app live on the store which uses the same API and we found that there are just some devices which do not work with the DeviceActivityCenter. Do you see any error message in the logs when that happens? In such cases we explain the users that there is a bug in Apple’s system and offer a refund (that’s all you can do). I would encourage you to file a feedback report (including a sysdiagnose and a minimal sample project to reproduce the issue) so the Engineers at Apple are aware of this issue and can address it. For reference, I have filed a couple of related reports: FB13768925 FB14082031 FB12195437 FB18198691 FB18351583 FB18061981

[quote='785877021, Phani_Reddi448, /thread/785877, /profile/Phani_Reddi448'] print("BUTTON TAPPED") [/quote] The ScreenTimeActivityReport runs inside a strict sandbox outside of your app’s process, so I assume logging is not possible/allowed (because that could leak data outside of the sandbox).

[quote='787690021, TurnerLogan, /thread/787690, /profile/TurnerLogan'] I just can't extract the data needed to track the apps. [/quote] Hello Turner! Apple’s Screen Time API is designed with a huge focus on user privacy, so you cannot extract any data as you intend. The FamilyActivityPicker gives you ApplicationTokens which represent apps, but you don’t know which. But you can use them to block apps as you intend. Hope that helps!

Have you tried what happens if you present a normal SwiftUI sheet from the sheet instead of the FamilyActivityPicker? → Does it lead to the same unexpected behavior? Then it’s likely a SwiftUI bug/ Otherwise, have you tried embedding the FamilyActivityPicker inside a SwiftUI view and present that instead? Does the unexpected behavior still reproduce?

[quote='849106022, DTS Engineer, /thread/793060?answerId=849106022#849106022'] I think it’s better to focus on this issue here. [/quote] Thanks for your reply here, Quinn! One thing I forgot to add in my initial post is the feedback request / enhancement request under which this is tracked: New with iOS 26 sysdiagnose: FB18846650 Original from last year, without any response so far: FB15079668

[quote='791334021, Nasheet, /thread/791334, /profile/Nasheet'] does the system not give access to the relationship between apps and their categories [/quote] This is not possible unfortunately. I desperately need the same functionality for my app as well. A while ago I sent a feedback request / radar to Apple but haven’t heard anything back: FB16121372 I would urge you to file a feedback request as well: Demonstrate your use-case. Showcase how this would not affect user-privacy (you still don‘t know which app and category are represented by each token, you just know that they’re related). Post your feedback number here as well 🙌 Let’s work on this together and shape the future of the Screen Time API – such an important topic nowadays that deserves more attention by Apple!

[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] Thanks a lot, Quinn! I’m super grateful for your help on this <3

[quote='848409022, DTS Engineer, /thread/758325?answerId=848409022#848409022'] File has failed to upload from user's device [/quote] Actually the daily ApplicationToken reset just happened to me again, this time on iOS 26 beta 3. Please find a fresh sysdiagnose here: FB18764644 Hope that helps to narrow down the bug! After we wrote yesterday, I re-selected all my apps / ApplicationTokens within my app, and just now the tokens provided into the ShieldConfigurationDataSource are all different and unknown to my app. I really really really would love to know how I can prevent this from happening for myself & my users 🥺🥺🥺 Previously it has been indicated that changes in iCloud Family can trigger this – while this might be true, this can’t be the only trigger for changing ApplicationTokens. Nothing is changing in my iCloud family on a regular basis. As offered before, I am more than happy to run any kinds of tests or collect additional debugging material / logs / etc in case that would be helpful (or even travel to Cupertino with my iPhone if nobody there can reproduce the issue).

[quote='848409022, DTS Engineer, /thread/758325?answerId=848409022#848409022'] File has failed to upload from user's device [/quote] Sorry about that! I was under the impression that the feedback assistant is fetching & uploading the sysdiagnose in the background. I don’t find that exact sysdiagnose file anymore, but you can find another recent sysdiagnose from iOS 26 beta 1 in this radar: FB17844364 (I checked, and for this one you can actually download the sysdiagnose) Thanks a lot for your help on this!

[quote='848230022, DTS Engineer, /thread/758325?answerId=848230022#848230022'] I see a bunch of sysdiagnose logs attached to your bug. Can you highlight one that’s most relevant? [/quote] For sure! Here’s a feedback request on this from iOS 26 beta two: FB18353106

Thanks for getting back to me on this! [quote='848011022, DTS Engineer, /thread/758325?answerId=848011022#848011022'] So, just be clear, the problem is reoccurring every couple of days on your personal device? [/quote] Yes, I can temporarily fix this by re-selecting apps / tokens from the FamilyActivityPicker, but then after a couple of days the tokens change again and the problems come back (it’s very inconsistent in that regard: sometimes it’s just a couple of minutes / hours / days until the problems resume). In my feedback request I have a minimal sample project and a video that shows the bug in action on my personal device: FB15500649

[quote='847740022, DTS Engineer, /thread/758325?answerId=847740022#847740022'] As far as we can tell this is a bug. There’s no code-level workaround, because tokens are opaque by definition. The user-level workaround was mentioned by thomas_maht in their original post. It’s annoying, but AFAICT it works. [/quote] Hey Quinn! Thanks a lot for the update and confirming that this indeed a bug and sharing a user-level workaround! Do you have any more information about the workaround? Because, as @thomas_maht has mentioned, the bug re-appears after a couple of days and that’s just too much to ask users to re-select apps every couple of days. They rather rage-delete out apps (and blame us 3rd party developers for being incompetent), and it’s just impossible to communicate that Apple has not fixed this bug that exists for more than 18 months. My personal device is affected by this as well, I’m happy to fly to Cupertino and reproduce the issue for the engineers if that would help. This has to be fixed with iOS 26! Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello, this bug is unfortunately still present on iOS 26 beta 1 and 2. here is my new bug report for iOS 26: FB18353106 @Apple DTS team: any feedback would be highly appreciated
