AppFeedbackKit

Drop-in SwiftUI feedback SDK for indie iOS apps. Asks your users persona-defining questions inside your app and turns the answers into ranked personas + ready-to-paste Meta ad copy on the AppFeedbackKit dashboard.

• Zero third-party dependencies — URLSession + Codable + SwiftUI + StoreKit + WebKit, all system frameworks.
• No ATT prompt. No IDFA. No location, contacts, or photos. No cross-app tracking.
• Privacy manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) bundled — merges into your host app at build time.
• Forward-compatible client: server-side question types your shipped client doesn't recognise are silently skipped, so the dashboard can ship new question kinds without forcing you to update your app.
• iOS 17+.

Xcode → File → Add Package Dependencies… and paste:

https://github.com/adamlyttleapps/AppFeedbackKit.git

Or in your Package.swift:

.package(url: "https://github.com/adamlyttleapps/AppFeedbackKit.git", from: "1.0.0"),

Sign up at app.appfeedbackkit.com, create a project (paste your App Store URL — questions, features, and screenshots auto-generate), and copy the apiKey + apiSecret from the project page.

import SwiftUI
import AppFeedbackKit

@main
struct YourApp: App {
    init() {
        AppFeedbackKit.configure(.init(
            apiKey:    "afk_...",
            apiSecret: "..."
        ))
    }

    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
                .appFeedbackSheet()   // auto-presents after 3 launches + server eligibility
        }
    }
}

The default .appFeedbackSheet() modifier auto-presents based on the server's eligibility check. If you also want a "Send feedback" button somewhere in your app, bind a @State Bool:

@State var showFeedback = false

Button("Send feedback") { showFeedback = true }

ContentView().appFeedbackSheet(isPresented: $showFeedback)

The SDK ships a PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest at Sources/AppFeedbackKit/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy. Xcode merges it with your host app's manifest at build time. Host apps embedding AppFeedbackKit MUST also do the following before submitting to the App Store:

Even with the SDK manifest, your app needs its own (declaring any APIs your code uses). The SDK's manifest will merge in automatically.

Declare these data types AppFeedbackKit collects (all "Not Linked to User", "Not Used for Tracking"):

If you enable the Contact opt-in question type (off by default), also declare:

Suggested wording, copy-pasteable:

We use AppFeedbackKit to collect anonymous in-app feedback. When you respond to the questionnaire we transmit your answers, free-text responses, app version, device model, OS version, locale, time spent in the app, launch count, and any active subscriptions you have purchased through the App Store. An opaque random identifier (UUID) is generated on your device to deduplicate responses; it is stored only in this app's local preferences and resets if you reinstall. We do not collect your name, email [unless you explicitly opt in], device advertising identifier (IDFA), location, contacts, or any data from outside this app. We do not track you across apps or websites.

Apple's Kids Category requires parental-consent infrastructure. AppFeedbackKit doesn't include any. Don't drop it into a Kids app without first wiring up a COPPA-compliant consent gate.

• IDFA / device advertising identifier (would require ATT prompt — we never request)
• Location, contacts, calendar, photos, microphone, camera (no permissions touched)
• Persistent identity that survives reinstall (UUID intentionally lives in UserDefaults, not Keychain)
• Cross-app or cross-website tracking signals
• Apple-proprietary StoreKit data beyond entitlement product IDs + dates

Every request to the AppFeedbackKit backend is signed with your apiSecret — the secret never leaves the device on the wire. Each request body includes:

• Device context (passive, no permissions): app version, build, bundle id, OS version, device class + model, locale + region + preferred languages, timezone, screen size, physical memory, free disk, accessibility flags (Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, Reduce Motion), low-power and thermal state.
• Engagement: opaque device UUID, launch count, first-launch date, days since install, total foreground seconds, current-session foreground seconds.
• Active StoreKit entitlements: product IDs, dates, active flag — your own first-party purchase data.
• Questionnaire answers (only when the user actually answers a question).

• Indie devs: free. No project cap, no response cap, no paywall.
