ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption export compliance while internal testing

Question

I got this message while selecting build for internal testing it says about setting ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption in info plist what does it mean  is it necessary

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

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

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

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

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
