Screen Time category

Does anyone know how to set the category an app will appear under in Screen Time?


My app is set to the categories "Music" and "Productivity" in the App Store, but appears as "Entertainment" in Screen Time.

I wrote to Apple Developer Program Support and they replied that there's no way to change this yet, but that this capability should be coming soon.

Starting in the iOS 12 public release, my app appears as "Other" in Screen Time.


I found an LSApplicationCategoryType key for info.plist, but the documentation says its for Mac OS only (and the possible categories don't match those displayed in Screen Time reports).


I see that my apps also display with "No Rating" and "No Developer" in Screen Time reports. It seems like developers need to configure this, but I can't find any reference of how to do so.
