Is there a character limit on the string / message to display for the NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription ?

Answered by Engineer in 622793022

There isn’t a specific limit for this string. That said, the string is used for the user-facing pop up, so it should be limited by what will be easily readable in that notification.

Keep in mind that usage strings like this are your opportunity to persuade the user to approve your request. A very long string is likely to result in a lot of TL;DR;Reject responses. OTOH, a very short string is also likely to result in a lot of rejections. It’s a careful balancing act.
