Mobile and Windows application blocking not working

[pantherale0]

          well I tried on my son's android, it doesn't seem to do anything. by the way, from Family Safety app there is no option to lock mobile as there is with windows devices, only block apps on mobile, there is an option to set up time limit for mobile (which blocks all apps with time limit)

This seems to be related to the logic implemented here https://github.com/pantherale0/pyfamilysafety/blob/34c9df2c1dcafef227746efb888ced39edb137ba/pyfamilysafety/application.py#L5

For me it doesn't even show the block mobile device option.

Block mobile doesn't do anything and has been removed. This issue is something else.

Ok. Is this planned to be included later one if you find a way?

Unfortunately not, the API "supports" the command, however it seems Microsoft's apps themselves don't even give you the option block a mobile device, and when the block is turned on the mobile device is still usable.

I've never been able to get it to do anything myself.

@idorose I have just released 2024.12.0b2 which allows downloading diagnostic data. I don't need everything from it, but if you could find the application IDs that don't work when blocking / unblocking apps that would be fantastic. You can find them under the following key in the json file that is downloaded after pressing the Download Diagnostics button):

$.accounts[].applications[].id
