Reply to Can FamilyControls ApplicationToken or CategoryToken expire? If yes, how to detect and handle it?
Hey Jothilakshmi! We are observing a similar issue since iOS 17. Unfortunately, nobody at Apple seems to care, this issue is still unresolved in the latest iOS 26 beta 2. It is unclear if there is actually still somebody from Apple working on this. See these forum posts for reference: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/758325 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/732845 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756440

Reply to How to open parent app from `ShieldActionDelegate`
[quote='840165022, ScottySy, /thread/766644?answerId=840165022#840165022, /profile/ScottySy'] company is now selling this exact functionality as an SDK [/quote] Is the "Open Parent App" functionality included – without using a local push notification? For them it’s easy to distribute private API because they don’t have to deal with app review or are risking their developer account from being banned. This is the feedback I have received from Apple: There is private API to do this (and it works) But you will have your developer account banned when app review discovers this. There are apps on the store using this private API for many years – without consequences. I would recommend to wait until there’s an official API (maybe next month at WWDC??)
