Hey, according to this documentation it sounds like there is no option besides upgrading all SDKs that use those protected APIs.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files/describing_use_of_required_reason_api
For each executable or dynamic library in an app that uses a required reason API, the bundle that includes the executable or dynamic library needs to include a privacy manifest file that reports the API.
Have you gotten any communication from Apple on this? Desperately hoping I'm misinterpreting this documentation because I'm in the same boat you are.
