[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe the problem

Hello. We are working on educational app for kids. We use C++ based application on iOS, firebase-ios-sdk is the only third-party-library we use. Apple review team reject our application because of Your app implements the App Tracking Transparency framework. There is no adSupport or iAd frameworks linked. We completely disable analytics by adding <key>FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED</key><false/> to the Info.plist. We are going out of ideas. Please help.

There is message from apple review team:

We noticed that your Kids Category app includes analytics, advertising and collects, transmits, or has the ability to share personal information or device information with third parties. Specifically:

• Your app implements the App Tracking Transparency framework, which is used when apps collect data about users and share it with third-parties for tracking purposes. Since Kids Category apps are not allowed to collect, transmit or share identifiable information with third-parties, you should not implement App Tracking Transparency in your app.

There is list of frameworks we are using:

I'm going to close since 7.11.0 is intended to address this in the official release.
