A third-party SDK has no privacy manifest

iOS / Xcode · last reviewed 2026-11-10

The error looks like this

ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest - Your app includes "Frameworks/FirebaseCore.framework/FirebaseCore", which includes FirebaseCore, an SDK that was identified

Why it happens

An SDK on Apple's commonly-used list (Firebase, Facebook, Alamofire, SDWebImage, OneSignal, …) is an old version without PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy.

How to fix it

Update the SDK named in the email to a version that ships a privacy manifest (cd ios && pod update <Name>).
Run: releasemedic ipa YourApp.ipa to list every SDK still missing one before uploading again.
