Description

Apple has become strict with privacy and AFNetworking seems to have an impact on it.
Users who use that client will be warned by Apple Store:

ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest - Your app includes “Frameworks/AFNetworking.framework/AFNetworking”, which includes AFNetworking, an SDK that was identified in the documentation as a privacy-impacting third-party SDK. Starting November 12, 2024, if a new app includes a privacy-impacting SDK, or an app update adds a new privacy-impacting SDK, the SDK must include a privacy manifest file. Please contact the provider of the SDK that includes this file to get an updated SDK version with a privacy manifest. For more details about this policy, including a list of SDKs that are required to include signatures and manifests, visit: https://developer.apple.com/support/third-party-SDK-requirements.

The library itself has been deprecated and suggests migrating to Alamofire swift library: https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire

This is worrying as Apple Store could reject app submissions for such a reason.

The work is done when the iOS client no longer depends on the deprecated AFNetworking library and app submissions no longer trigger the cited privacy-manifest warning.
