SwiftBindings.Apple.FamilyControls

Native .NET bindings for Apple's FamilyControls framework — Screen Time authorization for parental-control and digital-wellbeing apps. These are not Objective-C proxy wrappers; they use .NET 10's native Swift interop for direct, high-performance calls into Swift APIs from C#.
