Changes

Adds PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy to the iOS pod and wires it in as a resource bundle, so Xcode picks it up automatically when an app generates a privacy report for App Store submission. Consumers no longer have to declare anything on this SDK's behalf.

The manifest declares no tracking and no tracking domains. NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes is empty because the bridge uses none of the required-reason API categories — no UserDefaults, no file timestamps, no systemUptime, no active-keyboard or disk-space queries. The one collected data type is a user identifier, linked to the user and used only for app functionality, matching what Auth0.swift already declares for itself.

Two smaller items ride along:

  • The Expo config plugin's "unsupported AppDelegate" error was out of date — it named Expo 53 and pointed at the 4.x line. It now says what the code actually requires: a Swift AppDelegate, meaning Expo SDK 55 or greater, with 5.x as the fallback for older versions.
  • The example app now sets edgeToEdgeEnabled=true, which React Native 0.86 still defaults to false. This exercises the Android 15/16 edge-to-edge path apps are increasingly forced onto.

No change was needed for 16 KB page-size support: the published AAR contains no native libraries, so the SDK is page-size-agnostic, and neither Auth0.Android 4.0.1 nor androidx.browser ship .so files either.

Testing

  • Full unit suite passes (36 suites, 708 tests), along with yarn typecheck and lint.

  • pod install generates the A0Auth0_privacy resource bundle target, the example app builds with xcodebuild, and A0Auth0_privacy.bundle is present inside the built .app with the expected contents.

  • The Android example builds (:app:assembleDebug) and runs on an API 36 emulator with edge-to-edge on — system-bar insets are respected and nothing is clipped.

  • 16 KB alignment verified on the example APK: zipalign -c -P 16 passes and every bundled arm64-v8a library reports an ELF LOAD alignment of 0x4000. Hermes V1 confirmed by the presence of libhermesvm.so.

  • This change adds unit test coverage — there is no new TypeScript behavior to test; the change is a plist, a podspec attribute, a gradle property, and an error string. Verification is the build evidence above.

  • This change has been tested on the latest version of the platform/language or why not

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds and packages an iOS privacy manifest, documents its declarations, enables Android edge-to-edge display, updates example safe-area handling, revises Expo compatibility guidance, and reformats a native type declaration.

Changes

iOS privacy manifest

Layer / File(s) Summary
Privacy manifest packaging and documentation
ios/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy, A0Auth0.podspec, README.md
The pod packages PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy. The manifest declares no accessed APIs or tracking domains, disabled tracking, and linked user ID collection for app functionality. The README documents these declarations and Xcode privacy-report integration.

Example platform updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Example safe-area integration
example/src/App.tsx, example/src/screens/...
The example app wraps its navigation hierarchy in SafeAreaProvider and imports SafeAreaView from react-native-safe-area-context.
Enable edge-to-edge display
example/android/gradle.properties
The example Android project enables edge-to-edge display.

Expo compatibility message

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update AppDelegate compatibility guidance
src/plugin/withAuth0.ts
The non-Swift AppDelegate error now requires Expo SDK 55 or later and recommends react-native-auth0 5.x or earlier for older Expo versions.

Native type declaration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Format local authentication options type
src/specs/NativeA0Auth0.ts
The localAuthenticationOptions parameter uses a parenthesized union without changing its accepted types.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 86d75

The PR adds the SDK privacy manifest, but its empty accessed-API declaration may be invalid for App Store privacy-report validation. Merge should wait for that manifest issue to be corrected or explicitly accepted; the remaining follow-ups are minor.

SafeAreaView from react-native-safe-area-context, ensuring Android insets are

from the privacy manifest, leaving the key absent when no required-reason APIs
are used.

Apply the same fix in `@README.md` at line 56: The documentation change is part of
