Hello Notification Banner Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to draw your attention to an important update required by the App Store. Starting May 1, 2024, a privacy manifest will be mandatory for all apps. Given the ongoing development and support for your SDK, integrating this feature would be highly beneficial for ensuring compliance with the new App Store guidelines. This addition would greatly help developers like us in continuing to provide seamless services through our applications. We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to any updates you can provide.

Thank you for your continued support.

In addition SnapKit is a dependency that is listed by Apple on this page as requiring a privacy manifest. SnapKit 5.7.x has the manifest but NotificationBanner is depending on 5.6.x. We need NotificationBanner to update its dependencies and add the privacy manifest before May 1 or it can't be used in apps submitted to the App Store.

@Daltron

There already are two PRs.

#426
#428

These update the dependencies but don't seem to add a Privacy Manifest for NotificationBanner itself.

Here is a Privacy Manifest that says the library doesn't track at all (It's important that it has all four keys like this one even if it doesn't do anything noteworthy):

@Daltron Thanks for the updates. While you updated the podspec file and added the 4.0.0 tag CocoaPods still thinks the current version is 3.2.1. I guess you still need to register the update with Cocoapods.
