How can I access Screen Time data in my app? (Individual vs. Enterprise Program)

Hello,

I would like to retrieve Screen Time data in my iOS app for development purposes. I have read that access to Screen Time data may be possible if you are enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an organization (enterprise membership), but not as an individual developer.

Could anyone clarify the following points?

Is it possible to access Screen Time data via API or framework as an individual developer? Is this functionality limited only to enterprise members, and if so, what are the requirements or procedures? Are there any official Apple documents or sample codes about this process? If anyone has experience or can share relevant links or advice, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance!

The various Screen Time APIs are gated by the Family Controls capability. That capability is available to all paid developers. See the table in Developer Account > Reference > Supported capabilities (iOS).

IMPORTANT There’s a development-only callout in that table. If you plan to distribute your app, you must apply for distribution access. See the docs for more.
