I'm not sure if that should be added to AudioKit or just mentioned in the documentation.

In my opinion this is an Apple Developer issue, not an AudioKit issue.  I recommend documenting it as a courtesy.818 802 4085 ***@***.*** Apr 9, 2024, at 10:33 AM, Nick Culbertson ***@***.***> wrote: I'm not sure if that should be added to AudioKit or just mentioned in the documentation. —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>

Ideally it should be included in the framework, these manifests are merged with the one from the client apps when submitting to the App Store and this is simple enough to do. It's just a plist.

Oh that’s awesome, I didn’t realize they were merged with the client level manifests.818 802 4085 ***@***.*** Apr 9, 2024, at 12:55 PM, Stéphane Peter ***@***.***> wrote: Ideally it should be included in the framework, these manifests are merged with the one from the client apps when submitting to the App Store and this is simple enough to do.

Following manifest solved the warnings from Xcode cloud and Appstore Connect for my app:

• Reason 8FFB.1 as AudioKit uses mach_absolute_time to calculate absolute timestamps for audio.
• Reason C617.1 as STKAudioKit uses stat() to determine file lenght while reading from disk.

Don't know how to add this to the framework and PR though... Maybe it helps.

Privacy Manifest should be included in the SDK, per apple docs:

You need to include a privacy manifest file in your third-party SDK if it’s listed in “SDKs that require a privacy manifest and signature,” in Upcoming third-party SDK requirements. Otherwise, include a privacy manifest file in your third-party SDK if it uses required reasons API, collects data about the person using apps that include the third-party SDK, enables the app to collect data about people using the app, or contacts tracking domains.
