darwin/fvp/Resources/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy was a symlink to ../../PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy, which points outside the SwiftPM package root (darwin/fvp). When a host app builds with Swift Package Manager, Flutter symlinks each plugin package into <app>/macos/Flutter/ephemeral/Packages/.packages/<pkg>. Xcode then resolves the resource's escaping symlink relative to that symlinked package location and looks for it at .packages/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy, which does not exist: error: .../ephemeral/Packages/.packages/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy: No such file or directory (in target 'fvp_fvp' from project 'fvp') so `flutter build macos`/`ios` fails for any app using SwiftPM. Source files under Sources/fvp are also symlinks but compile fine, because Xcode follows symlinks for compile inputs; only the .process resource copy phase breaks on the escaping link. Replace the symlink with a real copy of the manifest (the same pattern every first-party plugin uses, e.g. connectivity_plus ships a real PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy inside Sources/<target>). The CocoaPods path is unaffected: the podspec still references darwin/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy.

Code Review
This pull request replaces a relative reference to PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy with a newly created, standard Apple privacy manifest file at darwin/fvp/Resources/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy. The new manifest defines empty arrays for tracking domains, accessed API types, and collected data types, and sets tracking to false. There are no review comments, and I have no feedback to provide.

Fixes #372.
darwin/fvp/Resources/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacyis a symlink to../../PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy, which points outside the SwiftPM package root(
darwin/fvp). The target declares it as a resource via.process("Resources/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy").When a host app builds with Swift Package Manager enabled, Flutter symlinks each
plugin package into
<app>/macos/Flutter/ephemeral/Packages/.packages/<pkg>.Xcode then resolves the escaping resource symlink relative to that symlinked
location and looks for the file at
.packages/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy(=
.packages/<pkg>/../PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy), which does not exist:so
flutter build macos/iosfails for any app on SwiftPM. (TheSources/fvp/*symlinks compile fine — Xcode follows symlinks for compileinputs; only the
.processresource-copy phase breaks on the escaping link.)Fix
Ship the manifest as a real file inside the package, matching the pattern
first-party plugins use (e.g.
connectivity_pluskeeps a realPrivacyInfo.xcprivacyunderSources/<target>/). The CocoaPods path isunchanged — the podspec still references
darwin/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy.Verified
flutter build macos(Flutter 3.44.2, Xcode 26.5, SwiftPM enabled) nowcompletes and packages successfully; CocoaPods builds remain unaffected.
