The list of common 3rd party SDKs that require a privacy list here:

https://developer.apple.com/support/third-party-SDK-requirements/

References a "hermes" SDK. There is some ambiguity about whether this references Facebook/meta's hermes JS engine:

https://github.com/facebook/hermes

Or Imgur's Hermes notification system:

https://github.com/Imgur/Hermes

A representative from Meta claims that Apple is referring to Imgur's library, despite the branding using a capital H and Apple's list using a lowercase h (see here: https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/discussions/776).

Can someone from Apple please confirm which SDK is concerned ? We wish to avoid app rejections.

Thank you

The representative is correct. The hermes listed on the Upcoming third-party SDK requirements page refers to Imgur's SDK.

I am working on a React Native app which has used Hermes by default since version 0.70 ( https://reactnative.dev/blog/2022/07/08/hermes-as-the-default ), so I would like to know Apple's stance as well.
