missing com.apple.developer.family-controls / Missing Family Controls from provisioning profile

Have you already requested permission to use the entitlement? https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/family-controls-distribution

did it tell you this? : "Provisioning profile "" doesn't support the Family Controls capability even though you enabled this option on Xcode and on your apple developer account? i'm currently at the same situation and trying to figure out why is that.

Hi, we have the same issue, nearly before the release, we realize that we need to request permission to use the Family Control entitlement. Can you share how long will it take to get the results of this request?

Getting the entitlement permission was quick and painless for me (a few days wait?). Releasing on the other hand, has been a consistent nightmare. My hunch is that the testing people don’t have the right tools or script to handle releases. But I’ve gotten all sorts of strange requests and rejections that read like the person on the other side didn’t even know that Family Controls were a thing.

I am still getting this error despite being approved for family control. Anyone know what to do?

Hi I followed this process but am now getting the errors on the extensions I'm using which are also using the family controls. Doesn't look like I can add "Family Controls (Distribution)" to them which I could on the main app. Any ideas?

We are waiting for approval for more than 3 weeks now. No confirmation email after filling the form. Contacting support was not helpful either.

Is this to be expected for Family Controls requests?

Same issue here. We submitted the permission request more than two weeks ago and now still waiting for their reply. No confirmation email was received after the submission. We can't even create an ad-hoc build for internal testing.

Oh, my God. I've already submitted my application. I hope they get it approved soon. Finally found a solution.

So this was actually an issue that took me a while to solve and I want to save others from that pain. The problem is that the Family Controls entitlement only works for development mode, which is why debug releases work fine. For production, you'll have to follow two steps:

1. Request the Family Controls permission for your app through the request form
2. Once the entitlement is granted (took about 3 weeks but I've seen varying time frames on the forum), you have to enable Family Controls in your App Store Connects Identifiers section (you only see this option once the entitlement is granted): Identifiers > your_identifier > Additional Capabilities, there you enable Family Controls for App Store distribution. You'll have to do this for all of the Identifiers of your app that use Family Controls, e.g. the extensions etc

We are working on a project of Parent Control. There are two applications one for parents and another for children.Parents application can block applications on the child's device. I call 'requestAuthorization(for: .child)' on the child App. Do I still need call it on the parent App?

I also sent a message to Apple from the previously mentioned form. It's been two weeks and I still haven't received a reply. I am troubled.

I request the Family Controls permission. It's been two month and I still haven't received a reply. I am troubled.
