Show HN: Privacy Manifest CLI tool for iOS apps

I have created a simple CLI tool to help me go through the codebase of my iOS apps and detect those 'required reason' APIs and SDKs that Apple now requires developers to disclose on a separate manifest file.

I have also added the option to generate a simple Privacy Manifest file based on the findings and on the responses that the developer will give.

Even though it's a bit too niche for HN, there maybe iOS devs here that might find this tool useful!

Very nice! love that it is all in swift, will give a closer look later but looks beautiful.

Recently went through this with a react native app with a ton of old dependencies and it was fairly painful. Wrote a couple not quite as beautiful scripts to help so I wish I had this before.

Tangential rant: I am all for privacy but find it really obnoxious that the most profitable company in the world is giving open source contributors to their ecosystem work on a deadline. Case in point: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/10325
