[🐛] Bug Report Title - Missing Privacy Manifest for GoogleUtilities about react-native-firebase HOT 5 CLOSED

Versions are always relevant, hopefully the new version has what you need. If not underlying 10.24.0 I believe is targeted for April 9 release

from react-native-firebase.

You've deleted the template, so I don't know what versions you are on, so I cannot help.

The latest react-native-firebase uses the latest firebase-ios-sdk though (well, 10.23.0, 10.23.1 will be an update we'll adopt here in the next couple hours though)

These should include privacy manifests.

@mikehardy given the privacy manifest isn't included in any version of this library, I didn't think the version i'm using is relevant as it doesn't provide any value. Since there's nothing to debug here. I was hoping to keep this ticket open, as many other frameworks/library's have done, for others to see and get updates. I believe keeping this open is the best option so it's easy for people to follow along for updates

10.23.1 will be an update we'll adopt here in the next couple hours though

This is what I was hoping to understand, thank you!

We have seen that RNBPreferences.m

from react-native-firebase.

@kevin-kp it appears we are touching UserDefaults here but react-native-firebase is distributed as source, so it can be thought of as a direct part of your app. You will need to include a privacy manifest in your app I believe and that would solve it?

Note that firebase-ios-sdk 10.25.0 appears to have taken some pains to remove the usage of user defaults (and I will publish an update here that includes it shortly: #7774 )

It may be that we can avoid it as well if that makes things easier for people but I looked into it and both firestore and database use user preferences (i.e. User defaults APIs) to store offline settings with regard to cache size and persistence preferences etc. I'm not sure how you would implement that functionality without an app-specific / user-specific persistent data storage area which is exactly what user defaults / preferences is for?
