I\'m trying to upload an update for an existing App with XCode 8. After the upload I have received this email:

\"This app attempts to access privacy-s

Answer 1

I've sent an email to Google complaining about this and hopefully it will get resolved in future versions of the AdMob SDK. Until then you can workaround by adding NSCalendarsUsageDescription to your info.plist. I also had to do the same with NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription.

Edit: Very important to also add the NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription one as well see: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/google-admob-ads-sdk/ios/UmeVUDrcDaw

Update Sep 18, 2016: Google has released version 7.11.0 which removes the need to have any of these.
