IOS Screen Time API integration with React Native

I am trying to build an app that blocks access to other apps (Like screentime) through react native. I know that IOS has ScreenTime API which has device activity which has the feather to do that. Is it possible to integrate this into a react native app? I've been looking online but can't find much information or documentation regarding this, but I failed to find much.

  • It is possible to create Native modules that access native functionality like the device activity API via Javascript.

    These should be of help https://reactnative.dev/docs/native-modules-ios https://medium.com/@rushabhprajapati20/native-modules-on-react-native-ios-swift-e9741440429d

Facing issue while integrating IOS Screen Time API with React Native event after following the steps mentioned in the official react-native docs which would work for integrating other native IOS APIs. The error exactly is present in the below image. It would be great if I get the code samples or resources precisely on integrating screen time APIs with React-native. Thank you.

I am also looking for a way to access the ScreenTime API using React Native. In my research and experimentation, I found this package: https://github.com/kingstinct/react-native-device-activity but I get a strange error when I try to use it in the app (see attached screenshot). I haven't found any helpful documentation to resolve the error, so has anyone found any other packages that might work? Or has anyone else encountered this error before? I have not tried to manually access the API (i.e. without an npm package), but I would prefer to use a package if possible.
