I got the issue in my Policies I don't know why? Even I follow all Instruction that apple provide on their official Page. But could not find any solution here.

I also followed ITMS-91053: Missing API declaration - Privacy on StackOverflow

Here is my PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file

I download the Privacy Report I shows me that error

The error message is very clear about what you should do - add a 'NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes' key to your privacy manifest. Did you try doing that? – Pollerd

Yes I add the Key " <key>NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes</key>" It still give me same error. – Consist

Perhaps the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file is missing from a third-party framework or library that's included in your project? I got an error message that NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes is missing from "MyApp.app/Frameworks/PSPDFKit.framework/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy". That library has not yet been updated with this privacy info. – Advertising

Answer 1

As the attached photo, your NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes was empty. You need to provide at least one data type, which is listed here. i.e, You're collecting user email for advertising purpose, it's should be something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>NSPrivacyCollectedDataType</key>
            <string>NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypeEmailAddress</string>
            <key>NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypeLinked</key>
            <false/>
            <key>NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypeTracking</key>
            <false/>
            <key>NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypePurposes</key>
            <array>
                <string>NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypePurposeDeveloperAdvertising</string>
            </array>
        </dict>

Looks like adding an empty array does the job. – Alwitt
