Feature Request: Support App Privacy Manifest

[devssun]

Checklist before submitting a feature request

• I've updated to the latest released version of the SDK
• I've searched for existing 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.

Using a binary analyzer I found these are the "Required reasons API" symbols in the generated frameworks:

Used symbols in binary ./FBAEMKit.framework/FBAEMKit: NSUserDefaults
Used symbols in binary ./FBSDKCoreKit.framework/FBSDKCoreKit: NSFileSystemFreeSize, NSFileSystemSize, NSUserDefaults
Used symbols in binary ./FBSDKCoreKit_Basics.framework/FBSDKCoreKit_Basics: NSUserDefaults

Used symbols in binary ./FBSDKLoginKit.framework/FBSDKLoginKit: no symbols
Used symbols in binary ./FBSDKShareKit.framework/FBSDKShareKit: no symbols
Used symbols in binary ./FBSDKGamingServicesKit.framework/FBSDKGamingServicesKit: no symbols

Punxsutawney Phil has predicted that Spring 2024 will be an early one, given that's Apple's deadline for compliance, is there any chance for an update regarding the status of privacy manifests for this SDK?

[SergeyChereshnyuk]

Hi Meta tema,

This is important for us too!

Apple has mandated that all third-party SDKs must include a privacy manifest and digital signature starting in spring 2024. We need to know when the new version of Facebook iOS SDK containing these features will be available. Can you let us know the version number and timeline from your end?

Thanks.

@SergeyChereshnyuk
Digital signatures are not required by all third-party libraries.

I understand that the ones on the SDK list listed by Apple are compulsory for digital signatures.

Privacy Manifest is mandatory if you use an API that requires clarification, but I don't know if it's mandatory even if it's not..

Please give me your opinion if I'm wrong.

Looks like it made it in via 3183c7e. Just needs to be released

NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes is empty in that commit, that doesnt seem right.

Yep I see, til I that you can have multiple privacy manifest files. Sorry for that oversight :)

Sorry for mentioning you, @ryantobinmeta, @KylinChang
I've been following this issue for a while and recently discovered that the FBSDKGamingServicesKit doesn't have privacy manifest files.
Is something amiss or not required?

Thanks & Regards

[mikemike396]

Looks like the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy files do exist on main.

Commit: af20a84

Would it be possible to get a version bump so we don't have to point to main or a specific commit hash?

Hello
I updated to 17.0.0 but it occurred with error. How can I fix this?
Failed to resolve dependencies Dependencies could not be resolved because no versions of 'facebook-ios-sdk' match the requirement 17.0.0..<18.0.0 and root depends on 'facebook-ios-sdk' 17.0.0..<18.0.0.

There is no tag/release for v17.x yet. If you need a version with the new Privacy Manifest, you'd have to use the main branch or a specific commit. See the answer from @mikemike396

[extstkim]

v17 release is out as @mikemike396 pointed out, but does this contain the signing that's required by Apple?

FBSDKTVOSKit also needed

NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategorySystemBootTime should be included.
