NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes Detection Script

If you want to analyse what APIs used by your app or any other dependency.

Global variable for search strings that may indicate a use of "iOS required reason API"

You can analyse with below Script:

To use above script first create one file named required_reason_api_scanner.sh and save the above script in it. Then go to terminal and run below command:

sh required_reason_api_scanner.sh <path to project>

You will get report in your terminal, if you are using any API. like:
Found potentially required reason API usage 'UserDefaults' in '<filepath>'
