Need for privacy manifest blinkid-iOS


At WWDC23 Apple announced that apps and SDKs that make use of certain "required reason" APIs etc will need to provide a privacy manifest.

Does blinkid-iOS need to include this manifest?

Is this update on the roadmap for the team? I appreciate that enforcement won't happen until Spring 2024 but I wanted to make contact so that we can plan our own app releases to take this into account.

Here’s some useful references:

Thanks

I tried to check if blink id ios had a privacy manifest file.


Solution

  • Looking at Apple's documentation for upcoming third-party SDK requirements, the BlinkID SDK is still not listed and does not repackage any of the SDKs from the mentioned list, so the manifest has still not been added to the SDK itself.

    However, it is on the roadmap to add the privacy manifest to the BlinkID SDK in future releases.
