Expo installation

This package cannot be used in the "Expo Go" app because it requires custom native code.

First install the package with yarn, npm, or npx expo install.

npx expo install expo-privacy-manifest-polyfill-plugin

After installing this npm package, add the config plugin to the plugins array of your app.json or app.config.js:

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": ["expo-privacy-manifest-polyfill-plugin"]
  }
}

Next, rebuild your app as described in the "Adding custom native code" guide.

Example

Use the NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType and NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons values listed in https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files/describing_use_of_required_reason_api.
