Encryption Compliance Question when submitting to Testflight - YES or NO?

Hi guys

When submitting your app to testflight, during the process it asks this question. How do I know what to answer here? My app is just a simple Unity app, AR in this case.

I did not specifically code anything encryption related, however I have no idea how my Unity app gets converted to XCode and then the process to testflight. Does the process perhaps add any enryption even though I did not code anything in that regard?

I see if you answer YES here, you will have to submit a report at the end of the year about this and if you don’t there are some penalties. I have no clue what they are on about and don’t want to make a mistake here.

Kindly help or link me to articles to help choose which option to tick here!

Here’s Apple’s latest documentation on self-evaluating whether this is needed: https://help.apple.com/app-store-connect/#/devc3f64248f

That link doesnt help much. Reading that, I’m no closer to an answer than before reading it.

I’m leaning towards ticking NO, but like I say, I have no idea if my app has encryption or not. It’s a simple AR app with landing page and then the AR scene. It does not connect to the internet (yet).

I may at a later time change this, for it to download new models. But for now everything it needs is contained in the app.

I’m assuming by encryption, they mean something that you manually added yourself, like for example in a messaging app like Whatsapp or for those old enough to remember Blackberry Instant messaging app.
