Checks PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy and your C#, Dart, JS, Swift and Kotlin source for Apple required-reason APIs, and decodes all 17 reason codes back to the category they belong to.

Install

npx @readystack/privacy-manifest-lint file

Node 18+. The same 48 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• Decodes all 17 reason codes back to the category they belong to, with Apple's condition; Flags reason codes Apple never issued - the ones a chatbot invents; Finds required-reason API call sites in C#, Dart, JS/TS, Swift, Obj-C and Kotlin; Flags misspelled manifest keys and category names
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• Whole repo, not one open file; Take the report away as CSV, JSON or HTML; CI JSON your pipeline can gate on; Fixes the misspelled keys in place
