Here is a post to gather findings in case anyone found out what this new API does. Apple did not include any comments or documentation and due to the generic naming we don't know what this API might does. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/deviceactivity/deviceactivityauthorization?changes=latest_major

Is there a programmatic way to check if a user has iOS Screen Time enabled on their device?

Disclaimer The setup of the FamilyControls capability, authorization etc. is all correct and properly working. The Issue Users complain that apps are not shown up on their parent device. Investigations For months we thought it's a syncing issue and eventually apps do show up. But another time (after already shown) they hide again. Insights We now found out, that the FamilyControlsAgent which is an internal process of iOS crashes due to exceeding their memory limit right before the picker should show up and then logs errors that it can't connect to "helper process". Feedback Tickets: Including multiple sys-diagnose files, step by steps and more: FB11983206 FB11863463 FB11983304 Attention As more and more users get frustrated with it, we hope some Apple engineer sees this and helps bring attention to a fast bug fix. Maybe just increase internal memory limit threshold for such process via entitlement. FYI We also think this is the reason why the DeviceActivityReport can't show apps and crashes due this limitation. But I would much rather prefer Apple to focus on the memory crash. FB11787794

Hi, I have a NEPacketTunnelProvider running. When uninstalling the app, I've noticed that the class calls stopTunnel with reason: providerDisabled. However when I want to cleanly finish up the stop the method gets cancelled before it finishes an asynchronous task. (takes maybe half a second) Any technique how I can ensure that the work still gets done before this happens?
