ITMS-91061 Missing privacy manifest

iOS
1

Hi Guys,
I am encountering an “ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest” due to my backendless using a connectivity_plus version 2.0.2—when trying to force my dependence to connectivity_plus version 6.2.3, my app doesn’t build.

I wanted to ask if anyone has encountered this same problem and how it was resolved.

Attached is the email i got from Apple.

Please correct the following issues and upload a new binary to App Store Connect.

ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest - Your app includes “Frameworks/connectivity_plus.framework/connectivity_plus”, which includes connectivity_plus, an SDK that was identified in the documentation as a commonly used third-party SDK. If a new app includes a commonly used third-party SDK, or an app update adds a new commonly used third-party SDK, the SDK must include a privacy manifest file. Please contact the provider of the SDK that includes this file to get an updated SDK version with a privacy manifest. For more details about this policy, including a list of SDKs that are required to include signatures and manifests, visit: [Third-party SDK requirements - Support - Apple Developer]

Hi @Ndeme_Khwashaba,

It looks like this issue is not related to the Backendless Flutter SDK. The Backendless SDK itself does not depend on connectivity_plus.

Apple requires a privacy manifest only for certain third-party SDKs (including connectivity_plus). To resolve the warning, please make sure your project uses connectivity_plus version 6.0.1 or later, since that’s when the privacy manifest was added. We recommend checking your project’s dependency tree (flutter pub deps) to see which package is pulling in the older version.

Regards,
Sergey

Hi -

the problem is indeed not with backendless but with the *Connectivity_Plus.

Within my app I am not directly using the * Connectivity_plus, but its through the backendless.

As I try to update my connectivity_plus to one of the latest versions having a privacy manifest
I get an Error from Backendless whereby my app doesn’t build, stating a problem is with backendless architecture.
Hence, it is not compatible with version Connectivity_Plus 6.2.3 or any with a privacy manifest.

I wanted to ask if anyone has encountered this before, and what remedy did you use?
