Flurry Analytics, not using Ads, still getting rejected for using IDFA

[Nob_Studio]

@rob

I don’t have an official answer but a pretty good speculative one.  On Android, the Flurry SDK may be need features from the play.services plugin (which is the AdMob V2 plugin).  Since you’re including this big multipurpose library and it uses the IDFA, its getting included in your app.

You probably could limit loading that plugin to android only since I doubt Flurry needs it for iOS.  Try adding:

supportedPlatforms = { android=true },

to the play.services plugin and see if that solves the problem.

Thanks rob! I added supportedPlatforms = { android=true }, and tick no for IDFA. It was approved and flurry results came in so all is working fine.

I got rejected today for Flurry or what apple called Flurry. I asking to see what I can do.

PLA 3.3.9

We found that your app uses analytics software to collect and send device data to a third party, which is not in compliance with the iOS Developer Program License Agreement.

3.3.9 You and Your Applications may not collect user or device data without prior user consent, and then only to provide a service or function that is directly relevant to the use of the Application, or to serve advertising. You may not use analytics software in Your Application to collect and send device data to a third party.

Specifically your app connects to Flurry.

Do you have a privacy policy listed in your app’s meta data on iTunes Connect?

Have you looked on the Apple Developer forums or googled on this to see what other people are saying?

Also what check boxes did you check during the submission regarding ads and the IDFA?

[agramonte]

I searched on Google and most of the links point back to these forums. I submitted two apps at the same time with the exactly same implementation and one passed without a problem and this one had this issue.

Both apps I marked them as using IDFA and using it for tacking purposes. Which is exactly what I am using them for. When I create an AdMob campaign I generate a link on Furry so that I can track the installs.

Yes I do have a policy and clearly state that I use Furry to track installs off of my advertisement. I’ll let you know what they say.

Thank you

any update on this?

Just got an app rejected with the claim of:  

PLA 3.3.12 We found that your app uses the iOS Advertising Identifier but does not include ad functionality. This does not comply with the

The app uses:

 ["plugin.OneSignal"] = { publisherId = "com.onesignal", }, ["CoronaProvider.native.popup.activity"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, ["iphone-sim"]=true }, }, ["CoronaProvider.native.popup.social"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, ["CoronaProvider.analytics.flurry"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, ["plugin.google.play.services"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" },

UPDATE: Based on Rob’s answer on this anotherforum post, I will try to restrict google.play.services to Android and see it it works:

Sadly I had to remove Flurry to get it approved. I am glad I am not the only one having the issue.
