Apple's latest privacy change requires app developers to describe the data they collect in their apps, either on their own or through third-party SDKs, and provide reasons for accessing certain APIs. This is achieved through a `plist` file called a Privacy Manifest file, which records the types of data collected and provides justification for its usage. The deadline for initial compliance is March 13th, 2024, with new apps not accepted by App Store Connect starting May 1st, 2024, unless they meet these requirements. This change expands to include the entire app binary in the future, aiming to standardize privacy disclosures and enable users to make informed decisions, aligning with global privacy trends and setting a benchmark for other platforms.
