Question about the November 12 deadline

We noticed a change in the page Adding a privacy manifest to your app or third-party SDK that adds a deadline of November 12 past which invalid manifests will not be allowed in store submissions.

Does this mean we can no longer use old versions of third-party SDKs which lack a manifest? (The ones that were allowed because we had already shipped with them.)

Does this mean we can no longer use old versions of third-party SDKs which lack a manifest? (The ones that were allowed because we had already shipped with them.)

SDKs that your app previously used before August 22nd, 2024 are exempt from the manifest requirements with a caveat. Starting November 12th, 2024, if these SDKs ship with an invalid privacy manifest, they will be rejected even if they were previously used.
