Hello everyone,
sorry to trouble with a question that might be trivial but I do not know which way to head.
I created an app with ionic and sent to the Apple Store as I have done many times, but for 3 times was rejected.
The reason is that it breaks the rule PLA 3.3.12 or the presence of an identifier for advertising purposes without the use of this feature.
The exact message of the store:
> Hello,
> Thank you for your resubmission. We noticed that your app is still not in compliance with our guideline.
> We are unable to proceed with the review of you app until this issue has been addressed.
> PLA 3.3.12
> 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.
> Specifically, section 3.3.12 of the iOS Developer Program License Agreement states:
> "You
> and Your Applications (and any third party with whom you have
> contracted to serve advertising) may use the Advertising Identifier, and
> any information obtained through the use of the Advertising Identifier,
> only for the purpose of serving advertising. If a user resets the
> Advertising Identifier, then You agree not to combine, correlate, link
> or otherwise associate, either directly or indirectly, the prior
> Advertising Identifier and any derived information with the reset
> Advertising Identifier."
> Note: iAd does not use the AdSupport
> framework, ASIdentifierManager, or the Advertising Identifier. Therefore
> they are not required for iAd implementations and should not be
> included in your app for iAd support.
> If your app is serving ads, please:
> -
> Ensure that you have tested your app on a device, not just the
> simulator, and that you have removed all previous versions of your app
> prior to testing
> - Provide us the steps to locate ads in your app
> If your app does not serve ads, please check your code - including any third-party libraries - to remove any instances of:
> class: ASIdentifierManager
> selector: advertisingIdentifier
> framework: AdSupport.framework
> If
> you are planning to incorporate ads in a future version, please remove
