Privacy manifest required by Apple

[wenfeng-duan]

Hi team,

Starting with Spring 2024 Apple requires third-party SDKs to add a Privacy Manifest file.
Apple has explicitly mentioned Reachability as one of the third party SDKs that must include a privacy manifest otherwise any App that includes it is not allowed to release an update (or new app) to the store.

Is there any plans to add a privacy manifest?

Thanks,
Duan

A new version needs to be released.

I don't see why Apple thinks this needs privacy manifests. I think it might be in error (or they are talking about some other Reachability package). Other than 3rd party tracking (which this package does not do), these would be APIs that would require one: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files/describing_use_of_required_reason_api

However, Reachability is using none of the ones in that document.

I'm not a contributor here; I'm an interested party, making sure all of my stuff is ready for privacy manifests as well.

Actually, 3.7.5 does have a manifest included. :D

I use CocoaPods to add Reachability to the project. But it seems that the latest version does not include the Privacy Manifest file.
Do we need to update the podspec file?

I pulled it in using Swift Package Manager. I was using CocoaPods but I'm in the middle of switching out a project to be completely SPM.

Would greatly appreciate if we could create a tag for the current master branch with changes made to support both SPM and Cocoapods @tonymillion
