Magnes-iOS Ver. 5.5.0 Release Notes

In this release note, we'd like to inform you of the recommended upgrade to Magnes 5.5.0 iOS SDK related to the upcoming Apple Privacy Manifest enforcement for iOS app third-party SDKs starting May 1, 2024.

At WWDC23 (Worldwide Developers Conference 2023), Apple introduced the Privacy Manifest which requires third-party SDKs to provide a privacy manifest that describes the data collected within the SDKs and provide a developer code signature to ensure the integrity of the iOS app software supply chain.

To comply with this new Apple Privacy Manifest requirement, PayPal has released the Magnes iOS SDK version 5.5.0 which packages all required privacy manifest changes and includes a developer code signature.

It is highly recommended that you upgrade to Magnes 5.5.0 iOS SDK by May 1, 2024, to eliminate the risk of your new or updated app being rejected by Apple App Store Connect. Please note the decision of rejection or acceptance will be at the full discretion of Apple / App Store Connect.
