What goes in a privacy manifest
Since 2024, Apple asks apps and third-party SDKs to describe their data use in a PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file. It holds four keys: NSPrivacyTracking, NSPrivacyTrackingDomains, NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes and NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes. Xcode combines the manifests of your app and its SDKs into a privacy report that should match your App Store privacy label.
Required-reason APIs are system calls that could be used to fingerprint a device: file timestamps, system boot time, disk space, active keyboards and UserDefaults. For each category you use, you declare one or more approved reason codes such as CA92.1 for UserDefaults access within your own app. The list on this page shows every approved code with what it allows.

Everything runs in this page and stays on your device. The manifest is built inside this page from what you tick.

Questions
Where do I put PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy?
Add it to your app target in Xcode with File > New > File > App Privacy, or drag the downloaded file into the project and tick your target. SDKs ship it inside their framework or package.
Which reason should I pick for UserDefaults?
CA92.1 covers reading and writing data only your app uses. Choose 1C8F.1 for an App Group shared by your apps, or C56D.1 if you are an SDK wrapping UserDefaults for the app.
Do I need a manifest if I collect no data?
Yes, if you use any required-reason API, which most apps do through UserDefaults or file dates. Declare the APIs with their reasons and leave the data types empty.
Can I edit an existing manifest?
Yes. Press Open an existing file to load it, change the ticks, and download it again.
