Hello, I have a question regarding the Privacy Manifest of a third-party SDK. We are using a static third-party SDK. This third-party SDK use the UserDefaults API, and it is also specified in the Privacy Accessed API Types within PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy. The static third-party SDK is added as a dependency via CocoaPods, and PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy is included in the Pods Resource. Additionally, our app does not use UserDefaults API. When we generate the Privacy Report, it correctly shows the data collected by the third-party SDK. However, when we submitted for review, we received a warning email stating that UserDefaults is being used in the app but is missing from the Privacy Manifest. ITMS-91053: Missing API declaration - Your app’s code in the “MyApp” file references one or more APIs that require reasons, including the following API categories: NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults. While no action is required at this time, starting May 1, 2024, when you upload a new app or app update, you must include a NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes array in your app’s privacy manifest to provide approved reasons for these APIs used by your app’s code. For more details about this policy, including a list of required reason APIs and approved reasons for usage, visit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files/describing_use_of_required_reason_api. I have the following questions: When submitting the app for review, does Apple not consider the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy of the third-party SDK? What steps should be taken to ensure that Apple reviews the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy of the third-party SDK?

In Xcode 15, when performing an Archive build and clicking the 'Generate Privacy Report' button, it is believed that the app creates a PrivacyReport PDF file by inspecting the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file used by the Third-party SDKs within the app. However, upon testing, it appears that only the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file from the app itself is included in the generated PDF, and the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file from Third-party SDKs is not being included. For example, I placed the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file inside the 'MyFramework' project and created an xcframework with it. Then, I added MyFramework.xcframework into the TestApp and clicked the 'Generate Privacy Report' button after an Archive build, I encountered an error saying, 'The archive does not contain any PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy files.' (Of course, the added xcframework is already included in the TestApp target.) If you know the solution, please help me out.
