Support App Privacy Manifests

[harikrishnank333]

Apple required App Privacy manifests until 2025. So google-maps-ios-utils SDK that contains an app privacy manifest must be signed.
I would like to know when you adopt this change.
This is mandatory for all the third party libraries from May 1, 2024 onwards.

The Google Maps Platform team is aware of Apple's announcements regarding third-party SDK privacy manifest and signature and required reason APIs. Although none of the Google Maps Platform SDKs for iOS are listed on Apple's page of "SDKs that require a privacy manifest and signature" as of the date of this message, the team is working on understanding and fulfilling the requirements in anticipation of Apple's requirements of apps and libraries (like this one) that use Maps SDK for iOS as a dependency.

"Star" the Maps SDK for iOS issue tracker issue to receive updates on the privacy manifest and signature for Maps SDK for iOS.

The installation instructions for Google Maps Platform SDKs for iOS now have download links and instructions for manually adding Privacy Manifest files for use with the latest versions of the SDKs. If you receive feedback from Apple regarding the contents of these privacy manifests, please report that feedback on this Issue Tracker issue. Find instructions and manifests for each SDK at the links below:

• Maps SDK for iOS
• Places SDK for iOS
• Navigation SDK for iOS
• Driver SDK for iOS
• Consumer SDK for iOS

Closing this issue since further discussion should be done in the Maps SDK for iOS Issue Tracker.
