Any support of Privacy Manifest? about storehelper

And just to confirm, StoreHelper doesn't collect any data whatsoever 😁

I’ll try and sort that out today as a matter of urgency! Interesting that it’s the first time I’ve encountered this. I very recently successfully submitted an update to an app that uses StoreHelper with no problem.

Done. I've added a privacy manifest (see StoreHelper/Sources/Resources) and made sure it's correctly bundled with the target (see the package manifest).

The privacy manifest correctly states that there's no tracking or data collection and that StoreHelper does use the UserDefaults API. All seems correct.

To test, if I archive an app using StoreHelper, then right-click on the archive in the organizer and select Generate Privacy Report I should get a report as a pdf:

However, the report file is always empty (no content), no matter what's in the manifest. I'm not sure if this is an Xcode bug or something I'm doing wrong.

So, I'll leave this issue open for now. Let me know if what I've done gets you through app store review!

Actually that's what I thought too. However, after digging a bit deeper it turns out that I need to declare use of the UserDefaults API (StoreHelper persists a list of purchases as a fallback in case the App Store's not available).

But it should be empty, since yep - StoreHelper is not using any of these and doesn't collect any data.
Also, deadline for this is 1 May, so lib developers have a plenty of time from now to add this.
