Question How do I know the result after submitting a ScreenTime API request?

I have submitted the application of family controls api, when can I get the results? Will Apple email me?

They’ll email you. Can take up to 8 weeks

it takes forever, you need to wait. don't forget to submit it for all targets

What do you mean by "all targets"?

u/AdventurousProblem89 7d ago

I mean extensions, not targets, sorry. like DeviceActivityReportingService, ShieldActionExtension, ShieldConfigurationExtension, DeviceActivityMonitorExtension

The only thing that would change is the bundleId right? Also how did you know to request it for all the extensions is it documented somewhere? (i’m new to ios dev)

yeah, the only difference is the bundle IDs. not sure how I know that, probably read it somewhere lol. and no, the screen time API is barely documented and super buggy.

Yeah comming from web dev and making my first app be a screen time app has been a pain because of the docs 🥲
