Additional Information

I updated the Braze to 9.0.0 but still have an issue.
I got an email from Apple when we submit our app:

ITMS-91053: Missing API declaration - Your app’s code in the “PlugIns/NotificationContentExtension.appex/NotificationContentExtension” file references one or more APIs that require reasons, including the following API categories: NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults. While no action is required at this time, starting May 1, 2024, when you upload a new app or app update, you must include a NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes array in your app’s privacy manifest to provide approved reasons for these APIs used by your app’s code. For more details about this policy, including a list of required reason APIs and approved reasons for usage, visit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files/describing_use_of_required_reason_api.

Hi @bejewel-daye,

Thank you for reporting this issue. Could you provide more information regarding how you are currently integrating the SDK, specifically:

• Integration method (SPM, CocoaPods, manual)
• Repository (see alternative repositories)

Hi @lowip,
These are the details:

• Integration method
  • SPM
• Repository (I'm not sure it is correct information for you)
  • braze-inc/braze-swift-sdk

Thank you for these information.

We're still investigating for a possible solution on our side. In the meantime, you should be able to resolve the issue on your own by following the workaround in this comment.

We will make sure to update this thread with any new findings.

Best,

Hi @lowip,
Is there any update about this issue?
As May 1st is approaching, I'd like to know if there's an update schedule or any information for this issue.

Thanks,

Hi @bejewel-daye,

We are attempting to reproduce the issue and have a few follow up questions for you:

1. When you receive this error, which of the Braze packages did you import in your app (e.g. BrazeKit, BrazeUI, BrazePushStory, BrazeNotificationService, etc)?
2. In the warning message, does it say if the issue is with your main app target or if it affects one of your app's extension targets?
3. Have you been able to attempt the workaround described here, and does it remove those warnings during upload?

Thanks!

Hi @hokstuff,

1. We've been using BrazeKit, BrazeUI, BrazePushStory, BrazeNotificationService. I couldn't tell you specific package.
2. I attached the warning message on the section of 'Additional Information'. I think It looks being with my app target.
3. Before updating the Braze SDK to version 9.0.0, I encountered the same warning message. This is the only remaining warning message.

Thanks.

Hi @hokstuff ,

We submitted app with Braze SDK version 7.7.0, it was passed.
Since it is not an issue at the moment for us, I think it's might be ok to close this issue.

Thank you for your supporting.
