Privacy manifests only included in release 17.0.0 with breaking changes about facebook-ios-sdk

[harshil-vyas08]

This isn't a duplicate of those issues; instead, it's pointing out that this required privacy manifest change should be made available in a non-major release.

Hello,

We made changes both to the iOS SDK and our core login systems to support the privacy manifest requirements based on the upcoming App Transparency Tracking enforcement so that iOS users who have opted out of ATT are able to use FBLogin. As a result, we do not plan to release the privacy manifest as part of a minor update. Our recommendation is that users integrate Limited Login following the official documentation:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/limited-login/ios
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/limited-login/unity/

See more details here.

+1 17.0.0 is instability

The privacy manifest deadline is approaching fast, please make an intermediate release with only those added since 16.3.1 release.

As the many threads here show, the 17.0.0 was completely botched and there simply are no clear solutions to resolve the login issues many of us are having.

Thanks for reporting this @elitree.

For more context, the Apple requirement for privacy manifests goes in to effect on May 1st, so the window for this is rapidly closing.

+1 but coming here from the Facebook SDK for Unity. Building for iOS for us has these same issues and we are also in need of any solution found here.

+1 Yes please. This is too big of a change just to cope with the Privacy Manifest.

[fabiomsouto]

Please consider this possibility!

+1 Any update on this? Is there a chance for Privacy Manifest to be added in v16.x.x without breaking changes?

The least they could do would be to get feedback from the team that manages the SDK. Even if it's a definite "no".
Facebook probably needs to collect data through the SDK as much as we need it for our users' uses. Many developers are already removing the SDK now.
Wake up!
