What's New in BuddyGuard
1.2.1
June 22, 2026
Main feature fix — background blocking The big one: blocks now start and stop on their own, even when BuddyGuard is fully closed. Added a Device Activity Monitor extension (BuddyGuardMonitor) — a background process iOS runs on schedule. New syncSchedule(...) logic registers a repeating daily/custom blocking window with iOS, so shields apply and lift at the window boundaries automatically instead of only when the app was open. The app now mirrors your block list (apps + websites) into a shared App Group so the background monitor shields the exact same apps/domains when it fires. Refactored website host handling into a shared hostVariants(...) helper (apex + www. variants, capped at 50 domains) used by both the app and the monitor. Added the Family Controls + App Group entitlements to the new monitor extension so it's allowed to enforce shields. Supporting changes Version bumped to 1.2.1, build 41, across all targets. Project/signing config updated for the new monitor extension's bundle ID and capabilities. App Store Connect side (not code) Removed the duplicate promotional subscription images, added Apple's Terms of Use (EULA) + privacy disclosure to the listing, and the subscription screen now shows a friendly "Try Again" instead of a blocking error.
