What information needs to be added?

Apple introduced the concept privacy manifests:

Apps and third-party SDKs — distributed as XCFrameworks, Swift packages, or Xcode projects — can contain a privacy manifest file, named PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy. The privacy manifest is a property list that records the following information:

The types of data collected by your app or third-party SDK. You need to provide this information for your app or third-party SDK on all platforms.

The required reasons APIs your app or third-party SDK uses. You need to provide this information for your app or third-party SDK on iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS.

For each type of data your app or third-party SDK collects and category of required reasons API it uses, the app or third-party SDK needs to record the reasons in its bundled privacy manifest file.

See flutter/flutter#143232.

We should add instructions for how plugin authors can add a privacy manifest to their CocoaPods podspec, if their plugin requires it due to data collection for using a "required reasons API".

Where should this new content appear?

Flutter will be swapping from CocoaPods to Swift Package Manager for iOS and macOS native dependency management. The new docs PR (#10827) already include instructions for plugin authors to add a privacy manifest to the Swift package, if needed.

Add a similar note to https://docs.flutter.dev/packages-and-plugins/developing-packages#add-cocoapod-dependencies.

Example at

  s.resource_bundles = {'shared_preferences_foundation_privacy' => ['shared_preferences_foundation/Sources/shared_preferences_foundation/Resources/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy']}

flutter/flutter#131940 (comment)

I would like to fix this problem.

• I will try and fix this problem on docs.flutter.dev.
