Apple Privacy Manifest

[wenfeng-duan]

Hi team, Is there a plan to include the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest as required by Apple? ref: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files

Thanks, Duan

Also called a "privacy manifest". This was covered in WWDC 2023 session 10060, titled "Get started with Privacy Manifests" https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10060/

Apple published its list of "privacy-impacting SDKs" at the link below. This list includes Google Protobuf. Any SDK included in the list is required to provide a privacy manifest and signature. https://developer.apple.com/support/third-party-SDK-requirements/

Apple has stated that manifests will be required for apps and embedded SDKs starting in "Spring 2024".

I saw that the PR for this issue has been merged. Will a new version be released in the near future?

[AnatolyPristensky]

@tamwei, we are planning to make a new release soon. I'll update this issue once release will be available.

Hi, Could you confirm if the signature will also be included in the next release? As apple says below, It seems that a signature is also needed.

Signatures are also required in these cases where the listed SDKs are used as binary dependencies. Any version of a listed SDK, as well as any SDKs that repackage those on the list, are included in the requirement.

Is there a planned release date for the update that includes the "privacy manifest"?

Apple has announced the updated schedule for warnings and rejections here: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=3d8a9yyh March 13: begin sending email warnings May 1: possible app rejections begin

hi, i would also like to know if there's a release planned soon to include the privacy manifest that is currently in main. It would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

It looks like there is PR open for the manifest. Does that mean a new release should be coming soon?

[zeshaanAli94]

Hi, I see the preparation for release v1.11.2. I was wondering what is the current planned release date for this update?

Hello! Any progress on this issue? :)

[skyfoxa]

@MikhailSuendukov I see there is a new package version, the release notes say it contains the privacy manifest. Does it mean this issue can be closed?

[MikhailSuendukov]

Since the latest release includes a PrivacyInfo file, I'm closing this issue. Please reopen it if anyone still faces any issues with this.
