Why an app? Doesn't seem terribly related, it's not like writing an app signals any sort of maturity. Maybe having them read Kant might be better, or...maybe just don't give them an out, be firm in the totality of the ban, lean into it without illusions.

But the general idea is to make the compute device into a creative tool a that be how she gets her start using it, rather than have it initially be just a social media interface. When I was growing up I played a ton of video games. I got started coding because I wanted to make video games. But as soon as I started coding, the video games suddenly became less interesting. I’m hoping a similar transition occurs with her, and that would be the indication she is mature enough to use the device as a tool to achieve things rather than a passive input channel for media.
