Important

Unity Matchmaker will support Multiplay Hosting until the deprecation date of March 31st, 2026. To aid your migration away from Multiplay Hosting, migration examples for alternative hosting providers are available. Matchmaker will continue to work with Relay and Distributed Authority after the Multiplay Hosting deprecation.

To publish applications for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS platforms on the App Store, you must include a privacy manifest file in your application as per Apple’s privacy policy.

Note

For information on creating a privacy manifest file to include in your application, refer to Apple’s privacy manifest policy requirements.

The PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest file outlines the required information, ensuring transparency in accordance with user privacy practices. This file lists the types of data that your Unity applications, third-party SDKs, packages, and plug-ins collect, and the reasons for using certain required reason API (Apple documentation) categories. Apple also requires that certain domains be declared as tracking (Apple documentation); these domains might be blocked unless a user provides consent.

Warning

If your privacy manifest doesn’t declare the use of the required reason API by you or third-party SDKs, the App Store might reject your application. Read more about the required reason API in Apple’s documentation.

Note

Matchmaker is dependent on Authentication. Refer to its privacy manifest file for applicable data practices.
Matchmaker is dependent on Services Core. Refer to its privacy manifest file for applicable data practices.
If you use the Remote Config API directly for A/B testing, there is a soft dependency on Analytics. Refer to its privacy manifest file for applicable data practices.
