Steps To Reproduce

Submit an App to AppStore Connect with BrazeKit as a dependency.

Expected Behavior

AppStore Connect should not send an email indicating of the following classified error: ITMS-91064: Invalid tracking information

Actual Incorrect Behavior

An automated message is being sent by Apple indicating an error in the Privacy Manifest.

ITMS-91064: Invalid tracking information - A PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file contains invalid tracking information at the following path: “Frameworks/BrazeKit.framework/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy”. NSPrivacyTracking must be true if NSPrivacyTrackingDomains isn’t empty. While no action is required at this time, starting May 1, 2024, when you upload a new app or app update, keys and values in your app’s privacy manifest must be valid.

Additional Information

The issue is that NSPrivacyTracking is to false but needs to be updated by the Braze team to be set to true.

Closing as I've realized this issue has been fixed in version 9.0.0.
