Does this app use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA)? - AdMob 6.8.0
I'm currently uploading my App to the App Store and Apple is asking me if this app users IDFA. I'm using the latest Admob SDK or 6.8.0 and I don't know if it uses IDFA or not, and if it does which check boxes should I hit X.X

Check if you app serves any of those purposes(displaying ads). If Yes, select the ones that applies. If No, you should not use Advertisement Identifier otherwise your app might be rejected.

I'm having the same issue here and I was a bit afraid of checking the last box, since I have no idea what the 3rd party SDK will do with the data collected and if they will respect the Limit Ad Settings.
But I found a post by a Google Admob programmer, Eric Leichtenschlag, on their forums:
The Google Mobile Ads SDK and the Google Conversion Tracking SDK utilize Apple's advertising identifier introduced in iOS 6 (IDFA). While each developer is responsible for how they access device data, the SDKs use IDFA under the guidelines laid out in the iOS developer program license agreement, including Limit Ad Tracking.
Including Limit Ad Tracking. This is what the last box is all about. So you must check the that box if you use AdMob. If you use other SDK I strongly recommend checking if they respect the guidelines as well.
Since I run only ads (Google AdMob), I checked the first (Serve ads...) and last box (I, ___, confirm...). App was approved and released, no issues.

My app was submitted yesterday. I'm only using AdMob for advertisements (banner and interstitial), so I checked only the first box (serving ads) and the last one, which is mandatory and your must agree that you app and all 3rd parties respect the Limit Ad Tracking settings. I'll let you know how it goes.

@tomDev What happens if I'm using the same project for Free (with Ads) version of the app and Pro (no ads) version ? Although Pro version will not be serving any ads, Admob SDK is still there. Does that mean I should tick those checkboxes even for the Pro version? What disadvantages will app have if I do so ?
– sleepwalkerfx
Jul 29 '14 at 12:47

To clarify, the first box is the line: "Serve advertisements within the app"; and the last box is the line beginning: "I, ____, confirm that this app, and any third party that interfaces with this app..."

If you are lazy to check on each third party SDK if they use or not the IDFA you can use this command:fgrep -R advertisingIdentifier . (don't forget the dot at the end of the command)
Go to your project/workspace folder and run the command to find which files are using the advertising identifier.
Then you just have to look in the guidelines of those SDKs to see what you need to do about the IDFA.

Does that work even in static libs? I tried it and there is a match in libGoogleAdMobAds.a but I'm not sure if this method is reliable.
– Ricardo

@Ricardo Yes it works. Basically this tells you in which files or libs advertisingIdentifier is used. Then you just need to lookup on those files/libs to see what they really going on with IDFA. So for AdMob you need to look on their guidelines or on their readme for more informations.

Yes, it does. From the AdMob page:
The Mobile Ads SDK for iOS utilizes Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA). The SDK uses IDFA under the guidelines laid out in the iOS developer program license agreement. You must ensure you are in compliance with the iOS developer program license agreement policies governing the use of this identifier.

Alright, so I should tick all the checkboxes ?

Hmmm. I'm not sure, but I think only the first of the three checkboxes applies.

@Jessica I would not check the fourth box unless you have confirmed with Admob, in writing that they conform to that requirement. You are opening yourself up to a lawsuit if you get it wrong and could face severe penalties, privacy laws are a minefield of legal hedaches. If your code doesn't do any ad tracking, and if AdMob tells you that their code conforms to the guidelines, then AdMob is liable for any bugs in their code. The way the linked AdMob page is written they seem to be trying to palm liability off to you, by making you responsible for any bugs instead of them.

If you have Google analytics or Facebook api in you app, you need to check all of them to make sure it works!

@Perry Not anymore, Apple just rejected my app as I was using Google analytics and ticked all the boxes. "We found that your app uses the iOS Advertising Identifier but does not include ad functionality. This does not comply with the terms of the iOS Developer Program License Agreement, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines."

If using GA to collect IDFA, but does not display ads within my app, I should select - Attribute this app installation to a previously served advertisement. - Attribute this app installation to a previously served advertisement. - Limit Ad Tracking setting in iOS. In this case, will my app get approve?

You can track all calls to [ASIdentifierManager advertisingIdentifier] with symbolic breakpoint in Xcode:

BTW, Yandex Metrica also uses IDFA.
./Pods/YandexMobileMetrica/libYandexMobileMetrica.a
They say on their GitHub page that
"Starting from version 1.6.0 Yandex AppMetrica became also a tracking instrument and uses Apple idfa to attribute installs. Because of that during submitting your application to the AppStore you will be prompted with three checkboxes to state your intentions for idfa usage. As Yandex AppMetrica uses idfa for attributing app installations you need to select Attribute this app installation to a previously served advertisement."
So, I will try to select this checkbox and send my app without actually no any ads in it.

I recently submitted an app to Apple's App Store. My app was built using iOS 12, Xcode 10, and Swift 4.2. My app uses Google AdMob for the sole purpose of showing Interstitial Ads. When prompted these question, this is what I did:
1) Does this app use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA)? ANSWER: YES
a) Serve advertisements within the app - CHECKED
b) Attribute this app ... - NOT CHECKED
c) Attribute an action ... - NOT CHECKED
I, (my name), confirm that this app ... - CHECKED
My app was accepted and "Ready for Sale" in less than 24 hrs.

Does that mean I should tick those checkboxes even for the Pro version? What disadvantages will app have if I do so ?

To clarify, the first box is the line: "Serve advertisements within the app"; and the last box is the line beginning: "I, ____, confirm that this app, and any third party that interfaces with this app..."

If you are lazy to check on each third party SDK if they use or not the IDFA you can use this command:fgrep -R advertisingIdentifier . (don't forget the dot at the end of the command)
Go to your project/workspace folder and run the command to find which files are using the advertising identifier.
Then you just have to look in the guidelines of those SDKs to see what you need to do about the IDFA.

Does that work even in static libs? I tried it and there is a match in libGoogleAdMobAds.a but I'm not sure if this method is reliable.

@Ricardo Yes it works. Basically this tells you in which files or libs advertisingIdentifier is used. Then you just need to lookup on those files/libs to see what they really going on with IDFA. So for AdMob you need to look on their guidelines or on their readme for more informations.

Yes, it does. From the AdMob page:
The Mobile Ads SDK for iOS utilizes Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA). The SDK uses IDFA under the guidelines laid out in the iOS developer program license agreement. You must ensure you are in compliance with the iOS developer program license agreement policies governing the use of this identifier.

@Jessica I would not check the fourth box unless you have confirmed with Admob, in writing that they conform to that requirement. You are opening yourself up to a lawsuit if you get it wrong and could face severe penalties, privacy laws are a minefield of legal hedaches. If your code doesn't do any ad tracking, and if AdMob tells you that their code conforms to the guidelines, then AdMob is liable for any bugs in their code. The way the linked AdMob page is written they seem to be trying to palm liability off to you, by making you responsible for any bugs instead of them.

If you have Google analytics or Facebook api in you app, you need to check all of them to make sure it works!

BTW, Yandex Metrica also uses IDFA.
./Pods/YandexMobileMetrica/libYandexMobileMetrica.a
They say on their GitHub page that
"Starting from version 1.6.0 Yandex AppMetrica became also a tracking instrument and uses Apple idfa to attribute installs. Because of that during submitting your application to the AppStore you will be prompted with three checkboxes to state your intentions for idfa usage. As Yandex AppMetrica uses idfa for attributing app installations you need to select Attribute this app installation to a previously served advertisement."
So, I will try to select this checkbox and send my app without actually no any ads in it.

I recently submitted an app to Apple's App Store. My app was built using iOS 12, Xcode 10, and Swift 4.2. My app uses Google AdMob for the sole purpose of showing Interstitial Ads. When prompted these question, this is what I did:
1) Does this app use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA)? ANSWER: YES
a) Serve advertisements within the app - CHECKED
b) Attribute this app ... - NOT CHECKED
c) Attribute an action ... - NOT CHECKED
I, (my name), confirm that this app ... - CHECKED
My app was accepted and "Ready for Sale" in less than 24 hrs.

Check if you app serves any of those purposes(displaying ads). If Yes, select the ones that applies. If No, you should not use Advertisement Identifier otherwise your app might be rejected.

@Jessica Nice question! You're probably saving me a few weeks of waiting that would end up in disappointment!
