App Store Connect is still warning of APIs

How can I resolve this problem? Do I need to specify a specific version of the Firebase SDK to resolve this issue? (IOS_FIREBASE_SDK_VERSION)

Thanks I saw this. There are 2 solutions: Add the privacyinfo.xcprivacy file from xcode Update the SDK version to a version that has privacyinfo support.

I would like to do the second but how do I know which SDK to use?

From what I read, Google Firebase has updated their SDKS with the required privacy info. Does this plugin use those updated SDKs or will it need to be updated?

I think Apple is requiring 3rd party SDKS (Firebase) to use the privacy info at the plugin level, meaning we cant just add it to our project. Can anyone confirm that?

This plugin (repo) uses iOS SDK 10.17.0. The 10.23.0 version has the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy added (https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/releases/tag/10.23.0).

Personally I've created a PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file in the iOS root folder and added all the info there and I had no longer any warning (keep in mind if you delete the ios platform and you re-add it, you need to add the file again. Myself I've added a script to be executed at "after_platform_add" hook, to add this file automatically).

My recommendation is to use sdk 10.24.0 (I will update my fork with the latest versions, both for iOS and Android, as currently mine is set to 10.22.0) and if the warnings persist, I would add the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manually in the root folder.

I've updated my fork with iOS sdk 10.24.0 and bumped up Android sdks versions
