Call to https question

I wonder what exactly does this mean:
"If you are making use of ATS or making a call to HTTPS, you are required to submit a year-end self classification report to the US government. "

Is this also the case when you open a website from inside the app?

Thanks for the link. But is a button in the game which can be clicked and then opening a website with https:// a “call to HTTPS” ? I can not find this info on the site.

Yep, start spamming US gov with any https link you click on the Internet :slight_smile:
Does your app use encryption to send governmental secrets? I guess nope. So forget…

How do I know how far it is with the US gov these days!? :wink:
Thank you! :slight_smile:

You can ignore that. Unless you are specifically making an app that uses encryption for the purpose of hiding communications, you’re fine.

Contrary to what you might think, big brother isn’t watching.

Still not satisfied? Ask yourself this, “Hmmm. Big game companies are using the same techniques I am. Are they submitting these reports?” I think the answer should be obvious, but if not. Very unlikely.

That sentence is a CYA statement by Apple.

Thanks for your fast feedback and help! Much appreciated!

Have a great weekend!
