While preparing my app for Declared Age Range capability usage, I've noticed a weird behaviour: the same code works for iOS, but not for macOS.
My project uses same target for both platforms, so the capability is enabled for both platforms. The business logic layer is also shared across between platforms. Both UI layers are writter in SwiftUI.
The iCloud account used for testing on iOS and macOS devices is the same, so even the consent is shared across both devices.
While requestAgeRange(ageGates:) seems to work just fine for iOS app, for macOS app it always throws Not available error (DeclaredAgeRange.AgeRangeService.Error.notAvailable)
Am I missing something? Could the API be somehow unavailable for macOS? Should I use AgeRangeService.shared.requestAgeRange(ageGates:in:) for macOS instead of SwiftUI's @Environment-based approach?
Also, after giving permission, is there a way to actually revoke it? In Age Range for Apps menu I can only view the list of apps that have my consent to share my age range, but not the ability to revoke it.

Where required, Apple uses age assurance methods to confirm an Apple Account holder’s age, and share age categories with you through the Declared Age Range API. Where legally required, you must check the age of the people using your app, starting with new Apple Accounts created in Texas on or after January 1, 2026, which has obligations only for iOS and iPadOS apps. To learn more, see Next steps for apps distributed in Texas.

To test content revocation in Sandbox on iOS and iPadOS 26.2 and later, please see the documentation below:
