I am in need of people with experience in publishing to the Apple App Store. I need help with AppTrackingTransparency and when it is (not) needed and how to solve conflicts with apple reviewers.

My problem: Apple rejects my app because I didn't implement ATT, despite the fact that I don't track users or give data to third parties for the sake of tracking or advertising. #dev #apple #apps #privacy

@svenja even anomomised analitics require it, even if it is only to disclose that the data is anonymous. IP addresses are usually collected, which, depending on the reviewer, sometimes get classified as identifiable data. It's not about what data on its own can be used to identify an individual, so much as what data could be used collectively to identify an individual or group. It really depends if the reviewer is having a good or bad day.

@fireborn @svenja Thank you for the information. What I am wondering about: How can it be that I can't remember facing this prompt at any time in other apps?

I have another question for understanding ATT. Does apple handle everything on a system level, after the ATT prompt was answered, e.g. stripping off all privacy data?

I use capacitor for my app and there is so few information about ATT and the handling of the ATT output in capacitor environments that I can't believe it.
