For an iOS app that runs in both child and parent mode across iOS devices. On the child device, with Family Controls enabled using .child permissions via AuthorizationCenter.requestAuthorization(for: .child).
Is any way to display a list of recently used apps by the child on the parent (guardian) device, in a privacy-preserving and Apple-compliant way?

I'm testing FamilyControls with Mac Catalyst.
Child account signed in.
Code:
try await AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .child)
Target:
I had a few obstacles:
Passed - App was sandboxed and could not connect to FamilyControlsAgent
Sandbox: macOSFamily(1967) deny(1) mach-lookup com.apple.FamilyControlsAgent
Violation: deny(1) mach-lookup com.apple.FamilyControlsAgent
Passed - Apple Family app was getting errors in Console. Managed to pass this after enabling screen time and a restart (not sure what wah.
The connection to service named com.apple.contactsd.persistence was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction.
Persistent store service connection invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction
Blocking - It seems that the required agent - com.apple.FamilyControlsAgent - is not running/doesn't exist.
[authorization] Failed to get service proxy: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.apple.FamilyControlsAgent was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 3 - No such process." UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.apple.FamilyControlsAgent was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 3 - No such process.}
debug ouptut: Swift.Result<(), Swift.Error>.failure(FamilyControls.FamilyControlsError.restricted)
Has anyone experience this or something similar? Do you have any ideas/suggestions on what can be done?
FamilyControls look to be supported on Mac Catalyst as well.
Hi!
What would be the easiest option to distribute and app to users who are under 13 (can't install Testflight), also without having to manually add UDID devices.
Tried, App Center (Microsoft), but still need to manually trigger the re-sign after the app is added (user installed a profile).
Thanks!
NB: app contains an extension as well
Hi!
We've filled the request for approval form for more than 3 weeks now. No confirmation email after filling the form. Contacting support was not helpful either.
Is this to be expected for Family Controls requests?
Thank you!
