exponea-ios-sdk - generates incorrect NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults values in react-native projects

Title:

exponea-ios-sdk generates incorrect NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults value “C617.1” in react-native projects

Description:

When using exponea-ios-sdk within a react-native project, the auto-generated PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file contains incorrect value(“C617.1”) for the NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults category. This is due to erroneous values within the exponea-ios-sdk itself.

The specific files containing the incorrect values are:

• https://github.com/exponea/exponea-ios-sdk/blob/main/ExponeaSDK/ExponeaSDK/Supporting%20Files/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy
• https://github.com/exponea/exponea-ios-sdk/blob/main/ExponeaSDK/ExponeaSDK-Notifications/Supporting%20Files/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy

This misreporting causes an "Invalid Binary" issue in App Store Connect, preventing successful submission.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Integrate exponea-react-native-sdk and exponea-ios-sdk into a react-native project.
2. Build the project, triggering the automatic generation of PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy.
3. Inspect the generated PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file and observe the incorrect values under NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults.

Expected Behavior:

The generated PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy should reflect accurate usage of NSUserDefaults as per Apple's guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files/describing_use_of_required_reason_api.

Failure from app store connect

_ITMS-91055: Invalid API reason declaration - The PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy for the “APP NAME” file contains “C617.1” as the value for a NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons key instead of a valid reason code for using an API in the NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults category. Values for NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypeReasons keys in any privacy manifest must be valid reason codes for the corresponding API category.
