Apple has simplified our building process, so you don't need to click on the same checkbox every time. You can streamline your iTC flow by compiling this flag into the app.

This is still the case as of 2019.

There are basically 2 things to bear in mind  You are only allowed to set it to NO if you either don t use encryption at all  or you are part of the exempt regulations  This applies to the following kind of applications  Source  Chamber of Commerce  https   www bis doc gov index php policy-guidance encryption encryption-faqs 15  Consumer applications  piracy and theft prevention for software or music  music  movies  tunes music  digital photos     players  recorders and organizers games gaming     devices  runtime software  HDMI and other component interfaces  development tools LCD TV  Blu-ray   DVD  video on demand  VoD   cinema  digital video recorders  DVRs    personal video recorders  PVRs      devices  on-line media guides  commercial content integrity and protection  HDMI and other component interfaces  not videoconferencing   printers  copiers  scanners  digital cameras  Internet cameras     including parts and sub-assemblies household utilities and appliances  Business   systems applications  systems operations  integration and control   Some examples  business process automation  BPA      process planning and scheduling  supply chain management  inventory and delivery  transportation     safety and maintenance  systems monitoring and on-board controllers  including aviation  railway  and commercial automotive systems      smart highway    technologies  public transit operations and fare collection  etc   industrial  manufacturing or mechanical systems - including robotics  plant safety  utilities  factory and other heavy equipment  facilities systems controllers such as fire alarms and HVAC  medical   clinical     including diagnostic applications  patient scheduling  and medical data records confidentiality  applied geosciences     mining   drilling  atmospheric sampling   weather monitoring  mapping   surveying  dams   hydrology   Research  scientific  analytical  Some examples   business process management  BPM      business process abstraction and modeling  scientific visualization   simulation   co-simulation  excluding such tools for computing  networking  cryptanalysis  etc    data synthesis tools for social  economic  and political sciences  e g   economic  population  global climate change  public opinion polling  etc  forecasting and modeling    Secure intellectual property delivery and installation  Some examples  software download auto-installers and updaters  license key product protection and similar purchase validation  software and hardware design IP protection  computer aided design  CAD  software and other drafting tools    Note  These regulations are also true for testing your app using TestFlight

According to WWDC2015 Distribution Whats New        Setting  ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption  to  NO  in info plist works   fine  if no cryptographic content in your app      I had got this pop up During selecting build for internal testing i didn t included  ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption  key in my info plist but still worked for me   Even i successfully uploaded new application didn t included  ITSEncryptionExportComplianceCode  and  ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption  keys   Also Apple Doc      Important   If your app requires that you provide additional documents   for the encryption review  your app won   t have the Ready for Sale   status on the store until Export Compliance has reviewed and approved   your documents  The app can   t be distributed for prerelease testing   until Export Compliance has reviewed and approved it    If your app is not using encryption and you don   t want to have to answer these questions at the time of submission  you can provide export compliance information with your build  You can also provide new or updated documentation via iTunes Connect to receive the appropriate key string value to include with your build before uploading it to iTunes Connect   To add export compliance documentation in iTunes Connect   Go to the Encryption section under Features  Click the plus sign next to the appropriate platform section  Answer the questions appropriately  Attach the file when prompted  Click Save  Your documents will then be sent for review immediately and the status of your document will show in Compliance Review  A key value will also be generated automatically that you can include in your Info plist file  For more information on including the key value with your build  see the Resources and Help section Trade Compliance   You can upload a build without an export compliance key  If you include a key  it can indicate that you do not need export compliance documentation  this requires no approval  If you include a key that references a specific export compliance document  that document must be approved  it cannot be in In Review or Rejected     You can review your answers at any time by clicking the document file name and selecting More Information  If you need to update your documentation or change any of the answers to the questions  you will need to repeat the steps above to add a new document that corresponds with your changes

Apple has changed the rules on this  I read through all the Apple docs and as many of the US export regs as I could find    My view on this was until recently even using HTTPS for most apps meant Apple would require the export certificate  Some apps such as banking would be OK but for many apps they did not fall into the excempt category which is very  very broad   However Apple has now introduced a getout under the exempt category for apps that JUST use https  I do not know when they did this but I think it was either Dec 2016 or Jan 2017  We are now submitting our apps without the certificate from the US Govt

Add this key in plist file   Everything will be alright     lt key gt ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption lt  key gt     lt false  gt    Just paste before  lt  dict gt  lt  plist gt

User · Answer

Basically  lt key gt ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption lt  key gt  lt false  gt  stands for a Boolean value equal to NO      Update by  JosepH  This value means that the app uses no encryption  or only exempt encryption  If your app uses encryption and is not exempt  you must set this value to YES true    It seems debatable sometimes when an app is considered to use encryption
