Reply to Opening Main App from Screen Time Configuration Action Extension
[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

Reply to iOS 26 regression: `DeviceActivityEvent`: `eventDidReachThreshold` called immediately (instead of waiting till threshold is reached)
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!

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]

Reply to How to open parent app from `ShieldActionDelegate`
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]
