To use 6.5.16-0 you need to add this pod on your Podfile:

# Add temporary IQKeyboardManagerSwift fork to solve problems with PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy
pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift', :git => 'https://github.com/douglasjunior/IQKeyboardManager.git', :branch => 'react-native-keyboard-manager'

If you still in 6.5.11-2, you will have problems with Apple, because in this version the IQKeyboardManager have no PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy.

Have you tried building it using Expo? Maybe I missed something. All I can do is to downgrade to a lower version without the privacy manifest.

Anyway, to use this library with expo you need to run the prebuild to get access to the native files.

https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/prebuild/

So just add this line o Podfile dependencies:

# Add temporary IQKeyboardManagerSwift fork to solve problems with PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy
pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift', :git => 'https://github.com/douglasjunior/IQKeyboardManager.git', :branch => 'react-native-keyboard-manager'

The version 6 was outdated by IQKeyboardManager and version 7 is incompatible with React Native yet: #109

So the only option was to fork the IQKeyboardManager version 6 and make the fix to work with the privacy manifest added only version 7.

Yes we MUST export privacy manifest for IQKeyboardManager: https://developer.apple.com/support/third-party-SDK-requirements/

Of course, it would be better to work without needing of a fork to be added to Podfile, that's obvious, and it's been like that for the last 7 years.

Unfortunately, this is how the open source world sometimes works, we need to play with the tools that we have in our hands.

I got it to work on Expo with the latest version with a plugin. Here's how:

1. Create a new folder in the root of your project named plugins
2. Create a file inside the newly created folder named withPodfile.js

const { withDangerousMod, withPlugins } = require('@expo/config-plugins');

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

async function readFile(path) {
  return fs.promises.readFile(path, 'utf8');
}

async function saveFile(path, content) {
  return fs.promises.writeFile(path, content, 'utf8');
}

module.exports = (config) =>
  withPlugins(config, [
    (config) => {
      return withDangerousMod(config, [
        'iOS',
        async (config) => {
          const file = path.join(config.modRequest.platformProjectRoot, 'Podfile');

          /*
           * You need to remove the line before adding it.
           * If you don't do this and you run `expo prebuild` in a dirt project
           * your file will have the same line added twice
           */
          const contents = (await readFile(file)).replace(
            /pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift', :git => 'https:\/\/github.com\/douglasjunior\/IQKeyboardManager.git', :branch => 'react-native-keyboard-manager'\n\n/g,
            '',
          );
          /*
           * Now re-adds the content
           */
          await saveFile(
            file,
            `pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift', :git => 'https://github.com/douglasjunior/IQKeyboardManager.git', :branch => 'react-native-keyboard-manager'\n\n${contents}`,
          );
          return config;
        },
      ]);
    },
  ]);

3. Add your new plugin file to app.json

{
  "expo": {
    "name": "bidaction",
    ...
    "plugins": [
      ...
      "./plugins/withPodfile"
    ],
    ...
  }
}

4. Rebuild the app with npx expo prebuild --clean

Nice @samuelbeaulieu, I'm going to link your comment on README.

I got it to work on Expo with the latest version with a plugin. Here's how:

1. Create a new folder in the root of your project named plugins
2. Create a file inside the newly created folder named withPodfile.js

Thanks so much for writing this plugin, however, I found it is only working after I updating the "iOS" to "ios", according to the latest of Expo doc (https://docs.expo.dev/config-plugins/plugins-and-mods/#experimental-functionality)

so this line:

 return withDangerousMod(config, [
        'iOS',

has to be

 return withDangerousMod(config, [
        'ios',

Hi just act on Samuel advice but it still not working. I implemented the plugin and yet the accessory top bar with done button etc doesnt appear.
When I run expo build command, it raises the following. is it mandatory to run that command ?
