Privacy Manifest

[EricJMoon]

Hi,
At WWDC23 Apple announced that apps and SDKs that make use of "required reason" APIs and "Data Collection", "Tracking" will need to provide a privacy manifest.
Does socket.io-client-swift need to include this manifest?

Hello!
socket.io-client-swift is not in list of third-party SDKs, so Apple does not require Privacy Manifest for it.
But in other side socket.io-client-swift depends on Starscream which is in this list. Fortunately last version of socket.io-client-swift has dependency Starscream (~> 4.0.6) and Starscream has been updated with MP in version 4.0.8.
So you can just update like this in your project:

pod update Socket.IO-Client-Swift Starscream

For now, I found this solution. Just fork this and update the pod spec file. I did it. You can use the below line.

pod 'Socket.IO-Client-Swift', :git => 'https://github.com/batikansosun/socket.io-client-swift.git'

I forked SocketIO and updated it's minimum Starscream version to successfully release my application to the App Store.
