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.

[devdems]

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

[pantherale0]

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

Hey, so I updated the integration, blocking \ unblocking service works for me now (yey!), but there is a problem if the app is not one word for example - Brawl Stars. I am getting an error, if I block Whatsapp its wroking perfectly

Another problem is when you have the same app name on Windows and Mobile, it seems to block only one of them, for EG. app id x:androidplt:e23658734a781a3e and app id x:windowsplt:e23658734a781a3e are both WhatsApp, can you add an option to block apps according to that app id on the diagnostics JSON you told me to extract?

[pantherale0]

@idorose thanks for those IDs, they are useful to see.

Do you think if I added the platform to the start of the app name to distinguish between it would be ok? For example:

Android: WhatsApp
Windows: WhatsApp
Xbox: Brawl Stars

Sounds great
