My app already has an app lock system which includes text & biometric combinations. Now iOS 18 has introduced a passcode lock for every app. So if users want to enable the app lock provided by us (developer), we want to inform them that you have enabled the iOS-provided app lock, in addition to that do you want to allow app-specific lock? For this, developers want to know whether iOS-provided app lock is enabled.

AFAIK there’s no API for this currently. If you’d like to see such support added in the future, I encourage you to file an enhancement request describing your requirements.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.
