DeviceActivityMonitorExtension - intervalDidStart doesn't get called

Hello, I have an app that you can select apps and then start monitoring. When I restrict the apps by button click, and monitor the activity, the scheduled time works and intervalDidEnd cancels shielding apps. But when I schedule shielding apps, intervalDidStart doesn't start shielding. What am I missing here?

I have already added FamilyControls capability.

import SwiftUI

@main
struct TestingScreenTimeAPIApp: App {

  @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate

  var body: some Scene {
    WindowGroup {
      ContentView()
    }
  }
}
import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
  @StateObject var model = MyModel.shared
  @State var isPresented = false

  var body: some View {
    VStack {
      Button("Select Apps") {
        isPresented = true
      }
      .familyActivityPicker(isPresented: $isPresented, selection: $model.selectionToDiscourage)

      Button("Start monitoring") {
        model.startMonitoring()
      }
      .padding()
    }
  }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
  static var previews: some View {
    ContentView()
  }
}
import Foundation
import FamilyControls
import DeviceActivity

class MyModel: ObservableObject {

  static let shared = MyModel()

  private init() {}

  var selection: FamilyActivitySelection? = nil

  var selectionToDiscourage = FamilyActivitySelection() {
    willSet {
      selection = newValue
    }
  }

  func startMonitoring() {

    let intervalStart = DateComponents(hour: 11, minute: 09)
    let intervalEnd = DateComponents(hour: 13, minute: 14)

    let schedule = DeviceActivitySchedule(
      intervalStart: intervalStart,
      intervalEnd: intervalEnd,
      repeats: true)

    let center = DeviceActivityCenter()

    do {
      try center.startMonitoring(.activity, during: schedule)
    } catch {
      print ("Error: \(error)")
    }
  }
}

extension DeviceActivityName {
  static let activity = Self("activity")
}
import UIKit
import FamilyControls

class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate {
  func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool {
    
    Task {
      do {
        try await AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .individual)
      } catch {
        print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
      }
    }
    return true
  }
}
import DeviceActivity
import FamilyControls
import ManagedSettings

class DeviceActivityMonitorExtension: DeviceActivityMonitor {

  let store = ManagedSettingsStore()

  override func intervalDidStart(for activity: DeviceActivityName) {
    super.intervalDidStart(for: activity)

    let model = MyModel.shared

    if model.selection != nil {
      let applications = model.selection!.applicationTokens
      store.shield.applications = applications.isEmpty ? nil : applications
    }
  }

  override func intervalDidEnd(for activity: DeviceActivityName) {
    super.intervalDidEnd(for: activity)

    store.shield.applications?.removeAll()
  }
}

Hi Ismayilov, I'm facing the same issue. Wondering if you found a solution/clue?

Any luck?

any update on this?
