iOS Are there any plans to add Privacy Manifests?

[Miya49-p0]

Apple recently announced that starting in Spring 2024, apps will be required to include more privacy-related reasoning for "third-party SDKs." This includes providing details in privacy manifests about data use by these SDKs. You can read more about this requirement on the Apple Developer website: Describing Data Use in Privacy Manifests

In Flutter SDK 3.19, this kind of support has already been implemented.
You can find more details at: flutter/packages#5846.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks for bringing it up! We've had support for Privacy Manifests for a while but it's been limited to Swift Package Manager. Our flutter plugin uses cocoapods under the hood, so we just merged RevenueCat/purchases-ios#3772 which adds support for privacy manifests via cocoapods.

This should be merged very soon and added automatically to the next release of purchases-flutter.

Thank you for your quick response!

Update here: this got merged and made it to the release train for iOS, which should ship shortly. It will take one week to propagate to our flutter SDK. Thanks again for bringing it to our attention!

Hi!

I found https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-hybrid-common/blob/main/ios/PurchasesHybridCommon/Podfile
I learned that PrivacyManifest was added in "RevenueCat" ver4.40.1.

And "purchases-flutter" is having https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-flutter/blob/main/ios/purchases_flutter.podspec

Can I close the "issue" I created?
