Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing app_usage Flutter package and the Apple Screen Time, FamilyControls, and ManagedSettings documentation linked in the issue. Determine how iOS and macOS support can meet the package's production requirements, including the stated Apple Family limitation. Done means app_usage provides working iOS and/or macOS support with the platform constraints documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

improvement
Description

app_usage is nice and all ... but the iOS ( and/or Mac) part is missing to really work as production ready flutter package.

Additional information

Theoretically i should be possible with:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/screentime
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/FamilyControls
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/managedsettings/

Limitations I already found out:

  • You need to be in an Apple Family (Child/Adult, guardian) setting for the APIs to work.
