Feature Request: Support App Privacy Manifest

[keitanxkeitan]

Checklist

• I've searched for existing feature requests on GitHub issues
• I've read the Code of Conduct

Goals

Apple required App Privacy manifests until 2025. So Facebook SDK that contains an app privacy manifest must be signed.
I would like to know when you adopt this change.

CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "FBSDKShareKit":
In Podfile:
FBSDKShareKit (= 17.0.0)

or

In Podfile:

None of your spec sources contain a spec satisfying the dependency: FBSDKShareKit (~> 17.0.0). T T

Any updates on this?
The clock is ticking and we are not that far away from the deadline set on May 1, 2024.
We just have 2 weeks before the time is up, and then any submission on the App Store of our Unity applications will require us to have a compliant Facebook Unity SDK.
Facebook, could you give us an ETA on this, please?

[jnbt]

Is there an ETA on this? Otherwise we all need to remove the Facebook SDK for Unity from the games in order to be able to ship updated in 2 weeks.

[esigma5]

We are a gaming company which depends on it.
An ETA or at least a message like "we don't do it" would be appreciated, so we can plan our own upgrades accorddinly.

Has anyone tried directly changing the ios-sdk version of CocoaPods to 17.0.0?
I've attempted to use facebook-unity-sdk 16.0.2 and change the ios-sdk version from 16.0.2 to 17.0.0 directly in the dependency.xml, and successfully built the app.
However, I'm unsure if running it this way might lead to unexpected errors. Has anyone else tried this?

I've tried but failed

To all who are looking for it: Yesterday Facebook released an update of the Unity SDK, which claims to address the "privacy manifest".

(Note: I have not yet tested it myself)

[Moayad-Rahhal]

Hi, I'm using Unity 2021.3.37 LTS and Facebook 17.0.0
Once I build the iOS I get this file

After importing the new Facebook SDK I also got the same, Do I miss something, or is importing the SDK fixing this issue?

[AvenNight]

I updated Unity to version 2022.3.22, firebase, fbm to 10.22.0 and facebook to version 17.0.0
I see that UnityFramework and all SDKs except Facebook have registered private manifests.

I also see the same errors when uploading to the app store.

I have been working with Facebook SDK for a long time and quite often they release crooked updates when I had to roll back versions or finish something manually, so there are suspicions that they again did not foresee something.

If I'm wrong, please tell me someone that everything is fine with you or tell me what I can do about my side?

Thank you

UP:
By the way, if someone is unable to build with a similar error:
ld: Assertion failed: (false && "compact unwind compressed function offset doesn't fit in 24 bits"), function operator(), file Layout.cpp, line 5758.
add this to the postbuild (It helped me to):

string projectPath = PBXProject.GetPBXProjectPath(path);
PBXProject project = new PBXProject();
project.ReadFromFile(projectPath);

// Unity Framework: Add `-ld_classic` to "Other Linker Flags".
var targetUnityFramework = project.GetUnityFrameworkTargetGuid();
project.AddBuildProperty(targetUnityFramework, "OTHER_LDFLAGS", "-ld_classic");

Hi all,

Pointing out that the Privacy Manifests appear to have been added, but not in a way that would result in them being merged into the UnityFramework's privacy manifest (which would explain why it's not being found in the screenshots posted by others above).

My assumption (unconfirmed - haven't researched / submitted to App Store yet) is that the privacy manifests of ALL frameworks (not just the UnityFramework) are considered for apps, so things should be good now.

However, @AvenNight 's post just above may suggest otherwise 🤔

Before/after comparison:

v16.0 FBSDKCoreKit.Framework content:

v17.0.1 FBSDKCodeKit.Framework content:

[AvenNight]

@bilalakil hmm, it’s very strange that your Pods version is FBSDKCodeKit 17.0.1, while mine is 17.0.0 without PrivacyInfo
FBSDKCodeKit.Framework content:

I took the Unity SDK from here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/unity/change-log#facebook-sdk-for-unity-changelog

Do you have any ideas what could be wrong?

[AvenNight]

i manually change version 17.0.1 (I also updated the Pods etc.)

in the end it helped and PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy appeared:

Now let's try to upload this to the app store!
I'll keep posted (:

[bilalakil]

Our app was approved and released with 17.0.1.
