privacy-manifest-check is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cruisediary/apple-app-review-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,128 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code and project check for missing or incomplete PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy files. This Apple privacy manifest records why an app or its libraries use certain system APIs, including APIs that can access sensitive device information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it on iOS or macOS projects to check the privacy manifest and required-reason API declarations, including those used by included SDKs.
Why use it?
It helps find declarations Apple requires during app submission and reduces automated privacy-manifest warnings or rejection notices.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

privacy-manifest-check scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skill: Privacy Manifest Check

Purpose

Detects missing or incomplete PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy privacy manifest files, enforcing Guideline 5.1 and Apple's required-reason API declaration policy enforced from May 1, 2024.

Apple Guideline

  • Primary: 5.1 — Privacy: Data Collection and Storage
  • Related: 5.1.1(ii)
  • Reference: references/guidelines/5-legal.md

Real-World Rejection Cases

  • Case: Received ITMS-91053 email: "Missing API declaration" — app used UserDefaults without PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy declaring reason CA92.1 Source: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy-manifest-files — enforced May 1, 2024 Root cause: All apps using required reason APIs must declare them in PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy; Apple's automated pipeline scans submitted binaries and issues ITMS-91053 rejection emails for missing declarations

  • Case: App using Firebase Performance SDK received ITMS-91053 for mach_absolute_time — Firebase Performance uses it internally to measure timing but the app's PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy did not declare NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategorySystemBootTime Source: firebase-ios-sdk GitHub issue #12557 Root cause: Firebase Performance SDK calls mach_absolute_time internally; apps must declare NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategorySystemBootTime with reason 35F9.1 even if the app code does not call mach_absolute_time directly — the SDK call counts

  • Case: Flutter app using Datadog SDK received ITMS-91053 — Datadog's dd-sdk-flutter used required-reason APIs but had not yet shipped a PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy in that SDK version Source: dd-sdk-flutter GitHub issue #587 Root cause: Third-party SDKs must each ship their own PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy; if an SDK version predates the May 2024 enforcement, the app team must upgrade to an SDK version that includes a privacy manifest or add the declarations to the app-level manifest

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
