Schedule (time-window) rules had no background enforcement: RuleScheduler.sync()
skipped them, so their shields were applied only by RuleEnforcer.refresh() — the
launch + 30s foreground loop. A window that began while the app was closed didn't
engage until the user reopened the app, which is why scheduled blocks could land
late or unevenly.
RuleScheduler now registers a repeating DeviceActivitySchedule per enabled
schedule rule's window (sched-<uuid>, plus sched2-<uuid> for windows that cross
midnight, since DeviceActivity can't express an interval whose end precedes its
start). The monitor extension routes these to a new ScheduleEnforcement.reconcile(),
which recomputes the rule's live schedule state from its snapshot
(RuleSchedule.isActive, honouring days, pause and the midnight-crossing rule) and
applies or clears the shield to match — the same logic RuleEnforcer.refresh runs
in the foreground, kept as the reconciliation safety net because interval callbacks
are known to fire late or not at all.
- RuleSnapshot gains startMinutes/endMinutes, with a tolerant decoder so snapshots
written before these fields still load instead of failing the whole batch and
blinding the extensions until the app reopens.
- Window activities are fingerprinted on their interval alone, so changing days,
mode or apps no longer needlessly restarts monitoring.
On-device verification of the background transition is still pending (the simulator
does not deliver DeviceActivity callbacks); covered by new unit tests across the
scheduler, the snapshot codec and the new enforcement reactions.
- Shared/ layer compiled into the app and three new extension targets:
rule snapshots in the app group, the usage ledger, monitoring-plan
naming, and LimitEnforcement (shared, unit-tested event reactions)
- RuleScheduler mirrors rules to the app group and reconciles
DeviceActivity monitoring: one daily 00:00-23:59 activity per limit
rule, with a cumulative usage-threshold event per budget minute for
time limits; activities restart only when their configuration changes
(a restart resets threshold accounting)
- OpenAppLockMonitor (DeviceActivityMonitor): midnight budget resets,
records usage minutes, shields at the budget, re-shields when a
granted open session ends
- OpenAppLockShieldConfig: open-limit shields show 'Opened X of N times
today' with an 'Open (Y left)' secondary button
- OpenAppLockShieldAction: an Open press spends one open, lifts the
rule's shield, and starts the ~15-minute one-shot session
- extensions are classic NSExtension app extensions (the ExtensionKit
product type expects an @main entry and made the app fail to install);
shield-store tracking moved to app-group defaults so the app and
extensions see one consistent set
- maps iOS 26's new .approvedWithDataAccess authorization status to
approved (it previously fell through @unknown default to notDetermined)
- shares the OpenAppLock scheme (Xcode dropped the autocreated one when
targets were added)
Screen 1 is a plain List (name field, the apps the list contains via
FamilyControls token Labels, and an Edit Apps button); screen 2 pushes
Apple's FamilyActivityPicker whose Save applies the selection back.
Documents that the picker silently drops selections without real
FamilyControls authorization (mocked in -ui-testing launches).
- AppList @Model with launch migration from legacy inline selections
(rules with identical selections share one list; idempotent)
- rules point at one app list; Block/Allow Only belongs to the rule and
is offered only in the Schedule editor (limit kinds sanitize to Block)
- app-list picker sheet (select / create / edit / delete with in-use
protection) replaces the per-rule selection sheet
- Hard Mode locks app-list editing while any hard rule is blocking
- SwiftData stability: relationships are only wired between managed
models, and unit tests share one in-memory container (fresh context +
data wipe per test) — per-test container creation trapped
intermittently inside SwiftData
Full rename ahead of App Store submission: project, targets, bundle
identifiers (dev.bchen.Severed -> dev.bchen.OpenAppLock), entitlements
file, app entry point, user-facing onboarding strings, test helpers,
and docs. Verified: all 62 unit tests pass.
