Privacy Manifest

Apple announced a new policy: beginning in Spring 2024, developers are required to provide a declaration for using specific APIs, known as Required Reason APIs. Privacy manifest files allow developers to describe what data their app or SDK collects, and its purpose.

πŸ“˜

The latest modules already include a privacy manifest file.

Apple provides guidelines on how to create privacy manifest.

Privacy Accessed API Types

This new category of APIs, designed specifically to combat Apple’s fingerprinting, needs to be declared. Apps referencing such APIs are required to state an allowed reason in the privacy manifest.

Privacy Nutrition Labels

The Privacy Nutrition Labels, launched alongside iOS 14, provide users with transparent insights into how apps manage their data. These labels present standardized information to empower users to make informed decisions. App developers are required to furnish precise data usage details, including any collaborations with third parties, through privacy manifests. Resembling nutrition labels, these disclosures are accessible on each app's App Store page, offering users a straightforward overview of data handling practices. Before publishing or updating an app, developers must input this information via App Store Connect.

Generate Privacy Report

πŸ“˜

Using Xcode 15+, all privacy manifests in an app and its third-party SDKs automatically roll up into a single privacy report. Refer to this report when you provide your app’s privacy details in App Store Connect.
