Apple new Privacy manifest files In May
Description
At the end of April, after the latest version of Apple submitted for review, Apple restored a warning email, which does not block the review at present. According to the official warning, it will be used as a condition for blocking the review around May. We hope to deal with the warning problem before May. According to Apple's May 1 Privacy Policy, if you use the API in your app's code, you need to report the API in the app's privacy manifest file. If you use the API in the code of a third party SDK, you will need to report the API in the privacy manifest file of the third party SDK. Since we use Swift packages to reference the GLTFKit2 framework in our app, but I can't see which interfaces need to handle Apple's privacy policy in the dynamic library, I hope the author can check the interfaces in the implementation code. Then add the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file.

Write at the end
We hope to get a clear reply and solution as soon as possible, so that we can deal with the review of Apple's shelves in May. Thank you.
These issues don't seem to pertain directly to your use of GLTFKit2, but you should also be aware that as of version 0.5.10, both binary and source versions of the framework include a privacy manifest that documents the framework's usage of user data and privacy sensitive APIs. Feel free to express any remaining concerns here after upgrading to the latest version of the framework.
This issue will be closed as completed in seven days if no further reply is received.
Thanks for your prompt reply, this definitely solves the problem I'm having now, so I'm planning on upgrading to version 0.5.10.
