Show HN: Privacy Manifest CLI tool for iOS apps

13 pointsby stelabourasabout 1 year ago
I have created a simple CLI tool to help me go through the codebase of my iOS apps and detect those &#x27;required reason&#x27; APIs and SDKs that Apple now requires developers to disclose on a separate manifest file.<p>I have also added the option to generate a simple Privacy Manifest file based on the findings and on the responses that the developer will give.<p>Even though it&#x27;s a bit too niche for HN, there maybe iOS devs here that might find this tool useful!

Very nice! love that it is all in swift, will give a closer look later but looks beautiful.<p>Recently went through this with a react native app with a ton of old dependencies and it was fairly painful. Wrote a couple not quite as beautiful scripts to help so I wish I had this before.<p>Tangential rant: I am all for privacy but find it really obnoxious that the most profitable company in the world is giving open source contributors to their ecosystem work on a deadline. Case in point: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;CocoaPods&#x2F;CocoaPods&#x2F;issues&#x2F;10325">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;CocoaPods&#x2F;CocoaPods&#x2F;issues&#x2F;10325</a>
