Privacy Manifest
At WWDC23 Apple introduced privacy manifests to describe the data your app or third-party SDK collects and the reasons required APIs it uses. You can find additional information on Apple Developer website
Starting May 1, 2024, Apple will reject apps submitted to the App Store if those apps contain an SDK that uses a Required Reasons API without declaring that API in its privacy manifest.
If you have integrated Appodeal SDK via Cocoapods, you can always get access to PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file by
path Pods/Appodeal/Appodeal-3.3.1/Appodeal.xcframework/ios-arm64/Appodeal.framework/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy
Required Reason APIs
To clarify the usage of Required Reason APIs, app developers will be required to declare the API category and specify the reasons for using the API. Below are the Appodeal APIs and their usage. You can copy the following code which includes the Required Reasons above, and paste it within your PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file.
At the moment due to lack of information we cannot recommend you whether to add or not these Accesses API Types to your own Privacy Manifest. After getting any changes we will update the documentation.
