ITMS-91053_PRIVACY_MANIFEST_REQUIRED
Privacy Manifests Required: Missing PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy File
Complete compliance guide and 24-48h emergency intervention service guaranteed by our technical task force.
TL;DR — Quick Synthetic Fix
Add a `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` file to the root of your Xcode target and list the reasons for using APIs required by your Capacitor/CocoaPods plugins.
Problem Description & Store Risk
Apple rejects App Store submissions for third-party apps and SDKs that do not include a `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` file justifying access to system APIs (File Timestamp, System Boot Time, Disk Space, User Defaults).
Step-by-Step Fix Procedure
To resolve the Apple Privacy Manifests rejection (ITMS-91053):
1. In Xcode, create a new file named `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` in your `App/App/` folder.
2. Declare the keys and reasons authorized by Apple (e.g., `C617.1` for file timestamps).
3. Update your Capacitor plugins to versions that include their own Privacy Manifest.
