I'm looking to make an app using the ScreenTime API and the Managed Settings Framework. I'm experimenting with the FamilyActivityPicker, but when i open it from the simulator i see only categories with no applications.

Without being able to select applications, i cannot test properly the app.

I can't install it on a real device to test it because i do not have a paid Apple Developer account and therefore can't access the capability if i select my Free Developer Account in order to install it on my iPhone.

I'm experiencing the same issue, it obviously seems to be restricted by apple. I confirmed it after activating Screen Time on the simulator in the settings. It is possible to select apps there, but not inside your own apps.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there is a workaround and we have to stick to testing on a real device.
