This is one of Cordova's supported platforms for building iOS applications. + +* [cordova-ios@7.1.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-ios) + +## Release Highlights + +**To upgrade:** + +```bash +cordova platform remove ios +cordova platform add ios@7.1.0 +``` + +**To install:** + +```bash +cordova platform add ios@7.1.0 +``` + +**Features:** + +* **`SplashScreenBackgroundColor` preference support** + + This preference allows you to set the splashscreen's background colour. If no `SplashScreenBackgroundColor` is provided, it will fall back to the `BackgroundColor`, which is the current behavior, and then fallback to the system background colour when nothing is defined. + +* **`privacy-manifest` Supprot** + + This release supplies the templated blank privacy manifest file, `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` which can be configured from `config.xml`. + + This release focuses specifically on providing support for app developers to set this configuration, while a later release will introduce support for plugin developers. + + It is recommended that plugin developers help app developers by providing in their plugin documentation the necessary configuration setup. + + Below is an example config.xml entry that app developers can define to configure the privacy manifest file. + + ```xml + + + NSPrivacyTracking + + NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes + + NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes + + NSPrivacyTrackingDomains + + + + ``` + + The contents and values of `NSPrivacyTracking`, `NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes`, `NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes`, and `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains` will depend on the specific native APIs being utilized. + + It is recommended to read the Apple Developer documentation to better understand these parameters. + + * [Privacy manifest files](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files) + * [Describing use of required reason API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files/describing_use_of_required_reason_api) + * [Describing data use in privacy manifests](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files/describing_data_use_in_privacy_manifests) + +**Fixes:** + +* **Use `PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER` for manual codesigning** + + Previosuly, the `PROVISIONING_PROFILE` flag was being set for manual codesigning. This flag only accepted the provisioning profile's `UUID`. To accept the provisioning profile's `name` value, the `PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER` flag should be set instead. The `PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER` flag accepts both `name` and `UUID` values for the specified provisioning profile. + +* **WASM MIME type error** + + This release added the `application/wasm` MIME type to `Info.plist` so that WebAssembly can load. + +Please report any issues you find on our [Cordova-iOS](https://github.com/apache/cordova-iOS/issues) GitHub issue tracker! + + +# Changes include: + +**Features:** + +* [GH-1411](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/1411) feat: `SplashScreenBackgroundColor` preference support +* [GH-1406](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/1406) feat: add `privacy-manifest` config support +* [GH-1383](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/1383) feat: add PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy for CordovaLib & app template + +**Fixes:** + +* [GH-1405](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/1405) fix: use `PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER` for manual codesigning +* [GH-1374](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/1374) fix: WASM MIME type error by specifying it in Info.plist template + +**Chores:** + +* [GH-1413](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/1413) chore(deps): Modernize some dependencies +* [GH-1404](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/1404) chore: update package & package-lock +* [GH-1382](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/1382) chore(deps-dev): bump `@babel/traverse` from 7.21.4 to 7.23.2 +* [GH-1380](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/1380) chore: Update Slack signup link in SUPPORT_QUESTION.md + +**CI:** + +* [GH-1412](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/1412) ci: Fix ObjC testing with latest Xcode +* [GH-1408](https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/pull/1408) ci(gh-action): add Apache RAT & package license checker workflow w/ license header additions
