Description
When submitting our app to the Apple App Store we are sent an error reading:
ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest - Your app includes “Frameworks/zm_annoter_dynamic.framework/zm_annoter_dynamic”, which includes BoringSSL / openssl_grpc, an SDK that was identified in the documentation as a commonly used third-party SDK. Starting February 12, 2025, if a new app includes a commonly used third-party SDK, or an app update adds a new commonly used third-party SDK, the SDK must include a privacy manifest file or you won’t be able to submit the app for review in App Store Connect. Please contact the provider of the SDK that includes this file to get an updated SDK version with a privacy manifest.

zm_annoter_dynamic is only present in the Zoom Video SDK but there is no privacy manifest. I am using the most up to date version of the SDK available. How can this framework be updated so that we can continue to make app submissions?
Troubleshooting Routes
I’ve deleted the node_modules folder, Pods folder and the podfile.lock then reinstalled, no change
Attempted to manually add the privacy manifest with no success
How To Reproduce
Submit app to the Apple App Store with the Video SDK installed
we got the same rejection error. Using Native iOS Video SDK v1.12.10 (which in theory already has support for Privacy Manifest).

Hi,
Thanks for the update. Do you have any eta on when this will be ready?
We are using a workaround of removing the ZoomVideoSDK/zm_annoter_dynamic dependency from the podspec to allow for submission.
We are experiencing this problem uploading our app to the Apple store as at 5 June 2025 with Zoom Video SDK version 1.14.0.
Please provide update on this ticket, as the issue is preventing us releasing updates to our app. It’s now been 4 months since Apple started enforcing this privacy manifest rule, but the Zoom SDK is still apparently incompatible.
For reference, here’s full text of Apple rejection:

@stevep9 can you please update to the latest version of the VideoSDK? The v2.2.0 release includes PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file for all output SDK frameworks.
