Why does Apple require Privacy Manifests?

Fingerprinting Prevention

Certain Cocoa APIs (like disk space, volume identifiers, and boot uptime) have historically been misused to fingerprint users across apps without their consent.

Third-Party SDK Auditing

Popular ad networks and analytics SDKs must bundle their own privacy manifest so developers know exactly what data dependencies are capturing.

Xcode Target Integration

Add the downloaded PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file directly to your app’s Xcode target membership to ensure it is packaged into your final app bundle.
