Apple Privacy Manifest

[tristanheilman]

Starting May 1st, Apple is requiring declarations for API usage as part of their privacy update for App Store submissions. I believe this package will need to include the NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults API declaration.

I ran a scan on my project and found this

Found potentially required reason API usage 'UserDefaults' in './WridzRefactorV2/ios/Pods/Headers/Public/MMKV/MMKV.h'
Line numbers: 369 371

MMKV Core is already working on this; Tencent/MMKV@06797a7

We don't need a privacy manifest, we will just no longer rely on those sensitive APIs.

will there be a new release soon, for this patch?

[mrousavy]

MMKV didn't create a new release yet.

Looks like the new release was shared 5 days ago. https://github.com/Tencent/MMKV/releases/tag/v1.3.5
Running pod install picked up the new SDK versions so looks like this can be closed.

@tristanheilman where do you run pod install? How can the MMKV module inside can update?

@tristanheilman where do you run pod install? How can the MMKV module inside can update?

I have react-native-mmkv ^2.12.2 installed. Just cd into your iOS directory and run pod install --repo-update. The update to the MMKV SDK was a patch update, reinstalling pods should pull in the updated version. After running pod install, check the Podfile.lock folder for MMKV ~> 1.3.5

If you have 1.3.5 installed then you are good to go.
