Questions From iTunes When Uploading An App For Submit or TestFlight

Modified on Mon, 8 Jan, 2018 at 2:40 PM

When you upload an IPA file to iTunes Connect and select either Testflight Tests or an App Version, some questions are asked. For Purple DS Apps these are to be answered as follows:


1st Question: Using encryption

Answer: No


2nd Question: Using Ad-ID (IDFA)

Answer 1: Yes

Answer 2: Only for advertisement


Background to Ad ID (IDFA):

Purple DS apps use the Advertising Identifier "  ID ID (IDFA)" not actively. There will be no request at any point. When iTunes / Apple scans the IPS file, it looks like it is  a source code commentary of one used SDK. So the result is a false-positive. The  "  Ad ID (IDFA)" is only used for advertising purposes.
