No, thanks for the link.

I found it, thanks.

Thanks. It's been frustrating searching for this information because everything I find seems to end up telling me to use some third-party product or service, which is emphatically not what I want. But I'll keep trying.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I already have background fetch enabled.

Thanks. I think I get it now. iOS is just always collecting pedometer data in the background regardless of whether I’m asking for it? So I can just stop requesting updates and shut off my timer and when my app wakes up again I ask for the data I missed. This is very convenient if true.

My app has two package dependencies, CBORCoding 1.3.2 and Half 1.3.1. I have no idea whether or not these packages use UserDefaults. I doubt that they do. How can I tell for sure?

I manage a number of other projects, some of which have more extensive dependencies. Am I understanding this wrong, or is it the case that unless every dependency I use is updated to include the correct API declaration, I won't be able to submit those apps anymore? What if the 3rd party does update their package but my app requires an older version of it?

Does the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file just need to be present in my project? Does it need to be in the bundle? Should it be listed under "Copy Bundle Resources"? Is there any other specific thing that iOS uses to determine that this is the file containing these declarations or is it just keyed to this filename?

I think I'm just missing something basic, like my manifest file is in the wrong location, or it isn't being added to the build correctly.

I asked him to convert his account to Organization -- hopefully that is something that's possible.
