What bug are you adding?
There are many bugs within Apple’s Screen Time Frameworks "Device Activity" and "Family Controls".
This leads to user frustration, and a loss of user trust in Screen Time solutions, leading to less use of Screen Time tools, and ultimately more unproductive scrolling.
Main issues:
How long has it been unfixed?
At least since 2022, potentially since the API was introduced in 2019.
They are not being addressed / recognized by Apple. No labs at WWDC. Nobody even knows if someone at apple is still actively maintaining that API.
No known workarounds.
