App Privacy Manifest Consistency Gate
Reconcile SDK, required-reason API, data-use, privacy-manifest, and questionnaire evidence before an App Store release.
What problem does App Privacy Manifest Consistency Gate solve?
An app can ship a PrivacyInfo manifest that looks complete while its SDK inventory, required-reason API evidence, collected-data declarations, and App Store questionnaire disagree.
Use it to
- Review a release before App Store submission
- Catch SDK-required API categories absent from the app manifest
- Compare collected-data declarations with the questionnaire snapshot
- Keep owner-only privacy judgments unresolved instead of guessed
What it returns
- Cross-file privacy findings CSV
- JSON owner-submission gate with trust boundary
- Review memo for developer and privacy owner
- Counts for SDK, API usage, and declared data types
A representative input and result
input An ads SDK has no shipped manifest, requires disk-space APIs, collects device identifiers, and the saved questionnaire says tracking while the app manifest says no tracking.
result Gate: BLOCK. Missing SDK manifest, undeclared API category, unapproved reason, data-type mismatch, tracking conflict, and unresolved identity-linkage review.
Access and approval boundaries
