Did Unity Game Analytics use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA)?

[Alexander21]

Hi All

Our App has been rejected by ios. They Said

We noticed that your Kids Category app includes analytics, advertising and collects, transmits, or has the ability to share personal information or device information with third parties.

Specifically, we found your app was made with the Unity SDK. This particular SDK contained the following selectors that pertain to advertisements:

advertisingIdentifier
isAdvertisingTrackingEnabled

It would be appropriate to work with Unity, in removing these selectors located in the UnityEngine.Analytics and/or UnityEngine.Advertisments components within your app before resubmitting.

I have followed the steps given by unity peoples. But again our app got rejected. When i google it. I used the below command.

grep -lr “advertisingIdentifier” * | grep -v .svn | grep -v .md

it gives the below output.

Binary file Assets/GameAnalytics/Plugins/tvOS/libGameAnalyticsTVOS.a matches
Binary file Assets/Plugins/iOS/libGameAnalytics.a matches

it shows the advertisingidentifer matches in Gameanalytics…I have removed the gameanalytics plugin and i run the below command.

egrep -in “ASIdentifierManager|AdSupport.framework|advertisingIdentifier|isAdvertisingTrackingEnabled” “{PATH_TO_LINK_MAP_FILE}”

It shows the output is. NOTE I HAVE REMOVED THE UNITY GAME ANALYTICS PLUGIN…

So Kindly answer my questions. Did Gameanalytics contains UnityAdIdentifer or IDFA.

So i think this is the reason for rejection for our app. So kindly UNITY PEOPLES answer m

I can tell you on a recent kids app the company I work for submitted to Apple, it was with an app that had advertisement and analytic packages are preselected choices, so I just removed those and submitted again and it passed. But if you want better responses on this, you should try the ads of analytics forums since this is the scripting forum.

GameAnalytics is not Unity Analytics, it’s from a separate vendor. It looks like it might be this https://gameanalytics.com/
