AppSotre rejecting (Improper Advertising Identifier [IDFA] Usage) #18

Closed fpmweb closed 10 years ago

fpmweb commented 10 years ago

I'm using the plugin and rejecting the AppStore this app with the following:

Improper Advertising Identifier [IDFA] Usage. Your app contains the Advertising Identifier [IDFA] API but you Have Not Indicated its usage on the Prepare for Upload page in iTunes Connect.

Apparently Google Analytics uses. Can you think of any solution?

Thank you.

fpmweb commented 10 years ago

Confirmed. If we use the plugin we can not pass the review of Apple. Google Analytics uses IDFA and do not display ads so Apple rejected the app. Currently we can not use the plugin for iOS. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Thank you.

Many people had this issue. Google made access to IDFA optional 3.03c: https://code.google.com/p/analytics-issues/issues/detail?id=387

The plugin embeds the latest version - perhaps there is or needs to be some way to not include AdSupport.framework?

fpmweb commented 10 years ago

Hi Steve, thank you very much for responding. Apparently I have solved the issue by upgrading to the latest SDK Google Analytics and not including AdSupport.framework.

Thanks for the feedback and I close the ticket

stevebartholomew commented 10 years ago

Cool.

How did you make this fit in with the platform adding workflow? The plugin added the framework automatically for me.

fpmweb commented 10 years ago

The plugin has stipulated that the default meta. I get the link to through Xcode and let me send the app. Anyway I have to wait to see validation that Apple says.

stevebartholomew commented 10 years ago

I have opened a pull request that (amongst other things) removes default AdSupport.framework inclusions.

Please add your support in comments if you'd like to see it in :) https://github.com/danwilson/google-analytics-plugin/pull/22

Hey! great job Steve! this pull request will go very well. I confirm once and let me fix that Apple finally approved the app. When you have a moment check your pull request and add some comments if necessary. Thanks!
