To confirm what whammy said, we were successful in our submission. Our app has no ads, but uses the Facebook plugin (didn’t upgrade), and we just checked the box indicating the IDFA was used for tracking installs related to ads. Our initial submission didn’t have that box checked, and failed an automated test. Once we checked that box, everything went through and was approved fine.
@daniel84 has it been through the manual review yet (and actually approved for sale)?
OK - I’m going to roll back to 1262 and tick box 2 just to get this release out, then I’ll work on getting it working in (so called) “compatibility mode”.
@beernathan, if you want to discuss the graphics 2.0 issues more, please open a new thread so we don’t hijack this one.

No problem - it’s now here http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/47664-issues-with-graphicscompatibility-1/
I had to update an app using build 1262. Hopefully, no plugins at all, no ads. Got automatically rejected.
The second time I checked IDFA usage and chose the first box and the limited tracking thing, though I do not use IDFA in fact nor display any ads… No autoreject this time, but I wonder if the app will pass the review…
@adam, it probably won’t pass the human review since you don’t display the ads while you just declared you did. You have to either build with no ads using 2169 Corona build (or later), or update using 1262 build but display some ads in your app.
I am getting the same error when I tried to upload an update to my app. I have no problem with this just a few days back.
Yep me too. I am assuming is a case of when submitted for build that there is code appended e.g. in binary can see reference to Facebook etc.
So even though my code has no ads nor references to 3rd party API’s, it is the build process that is causing this. Probably no problem in the past, but now that Apple is cracking down harder on IDFA this is the outcome.
If my assumption is correct then would subsequently assume that will need Corona to sort out.
For me the same message. I have an app and I want to upload a new version and the xcode application loader show to me the same message. I’m using corona Version 2013.2076. Is the first time it appears to me. I have changed only some images. My app have not any ads plugin
the message in appllication loader is
Improper advertising identifier idfa usage. Your app contains the advertising identifier idfa api but you have not indicated its usage on the prepare for upload page in itunes connect
What version(s) of Corona SDK are you building with? We removed this Identifier in 2169. You need to run a version newer than this, like the last public build 2187.
Please note, that the Facebook SDK was also pulled out and put into a Plugin with that version because the Facebook SDK includes this identifier.

Tried build 2282.
2189, we know about plugin. My app was being uploaded without problems until yesterday. I have uploaded version even with 2282.but yesterday problems
I’ve built a new version app in corona version 2013.2076 and i receive the same message.
After I try to upload the same app that I uploaded 3 weeks ago and the xcode application loader say to me the same message.
One app that was aproved 3 weeks ago now say this message.
The app has not any ads. Only show photos, videos and pdf’s.
For those being rejected are you using any 3rd party services, like Facebook, Analytics, any plugins? There are multiple reports. Can you be very clear: Corona Version Number rejected, Corona Version number working.
Thanks
Rob
In my case I built with corona 2013.2076 an app made with kwiksher.
This is an app that show images, txt, photos, videos and pdf’s ( native.newWebView )
Also the user can click to send a email.
system.openURL( “mailto:logistica@ponsquimicas.es” )
The app has not any 3rd party services like facebook, analytics or any plugins.
The new version is like the version that is actually in appstore (only I have change some images)
And in both with corona 2013.2076.
If i try to upload the version that appstore approved 3 weeks ago, now it say to me the same message:
Improper advertising identifier idfa usage. Your app contains the advertising identifier idfa api but you have not indicated its usage on the prepare for upload page in itunes connect.
Tested and rejected 2014.2282 and public 2014,2189
Using social plugin(facebook)
Yes. I have dowload the corona version 2014.2189a and now it’s ok
Approved in application loader.
Not show the error.
Version 2013.2100 (2013.12.7)
Worked one week ago, does not work today. NO code changes, NO plugins, NO ads, no 3rd party anything.
I really didn’t want to be forced to update Corona until I have time to test my app on a new Corona build. I’m trying to submit an app update with bug fixes.
Something has happened on your build. Hope you can fix this ASAP… I can’t get bug fixes out!
