FamilyActivityPicker Crashing / Freezing
Our users report frequent crashes with the FamilyActivityPicker. Since this is a screen controlled by Apple, I'm assuming that there's nothing I can do to prevent these crashes. I'm wondering, though, if there's any way to gracefully handle these crashes? When this happens, the following is printed to the console: [com.apple.FamilyControls.ActivityPickerExtension(1121)] Connection to plugin invalidated while in use. Does anyone know how to handle/catch this error?

Any Developer Flexibility Around "Always Allowed" Apps?
The Screen Time API allows developers to block / shield all apps that aren't in the user's "Always Allowed" list in the Screen Time settings (by setting .all() for ShieldSettings.ActivityCategoryPolicy. What I've found, though, is that if an app is blocked, the user can simply go to this Always Allowed list, add that app, and it immediately becomes unblocked. I am trying to either prevent a user from being able to do this or detect when a user does this, as the point of an app like mine (that allows the user to block other apps) is to prevent people from easily accessing those apps that are blocked. Is this possible?
