GMI 5.00 with FGLGWS 5.00

Important:

The GMI version 5.00 is built on FGLGWS 5.00 and therefore, strongly tied to this Genero BDL version.

App Store requirements for privacy

Starting May 1, 2024, apps will be rejected by the App Store Connect, if they do not describe their use of required reason API in their privacy manifest file.

The privacy manifest file is called PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy and needs to be placed in the root of the application bundle.

Starting with GMI 5.00.01, the gmibuildtool bundles a default PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file which should be sufficient in most cases. This file can be customized, if Apple rejects an app because informations are not suitable.

For more details, refer to Customize ./gmi/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file.
