Minimal iPhone product shot representing the iOS Consent SDK case study.

CHALLENGE

Privacy consent needed parity across native iOS apps without forcing product teams to rebuild logic from scratch.

CONSTRAINTS

  • - Native app lifecycle requirements and screen-level state handling.
  • - Need to align legal behavior with existing web SDK contracts.
  • - Integration had to stay simple for partner mobile teams.

ARCHITECTURE CHOICES

  • - Built reusable Swift consent modules with configuration entry points.
  • - Mirrored key policy concepts from web SDK for consistency.
  • - Added guardrails for minor-consent and policy edge cases.

TRADE-OFFS

  • - Kept API surface intentionally narrow to improve reliability.
  • - Accepted fewer custom UI override points in exchange for consistency.

OUTCOME

  • - Shipped privacy compliance capabilities on Apple devices.
  • - Created a maintainable path for future native privacy features.
