in this weeks i received this error:

ITMS-91055: Invalid API reason declaration - The PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy for the “VanigliaPro” file contains “App Functionality” as the value for a NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons key instead of a valid reason code for using an API in the NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryFileTimestamp category. While no action is required at this time, starting May 1, 2024, when you upload a new app or app update, values for NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons keys in your app’s privacy manifest must be valid reason codes for the corresponding API category. 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.

ITMS-91053: Missing API declaration - Your app’s code in the “xxxx” 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.

Hi, there is video from WWDC with general explanation and examples of privacy manifest https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10060

but there is more general question for Apple to clarify: many libraries consider this issue as addressed by adding empty PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy without specifying NSPrivacyAccessedAPIType and NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons, for example https://github.com/flutter/packages/pull/5846/files?file-filters%5B%5D=.xcprivacy&show-viewed-files=true - it's really confusing as it shouldn't be working "fix" or I totally misunderstood logic behind adding these files (in my opinion they should follow same logic as we used previously with eg Photos or Location access - you declare privacy data type and provide description).
