My app was just rejected for using the Ad support framework. Which library is responsible?

Question

This was simply an update that didn\'t change anything to do with the rejection reason. Here is the response from the resolution center:

Reasons Pro

Answer 1

I'd previously written the following in comments, directing people to the "strings" or "otool" terminal commands. However, I really like the suggested answer of using grep. So you can try it first. My suggestion is to prepend "git" to that command, because it's so much faster:

git grep advertisingIdentifier

If that doesn't work, then try (as posted earlier):

grep -r advertisingIdentifier . 

What follows is what I'd previously written in a comment above, as a how-to for terminal commands:

You can search your project's files in Xcode or you can try removing the AdSupport framework to see what fails at build/run time.

To use the terminal, click Spotlight (search) and type Terminal. Wait for it to appear as an Application in the search results.

Once in Terminal, type "cd" followed by a space, then drag and drop your Xcode build folder from Finder into Terminal. This should automatically type that folder name in. Hit Enter, and it will change directories (cd) you to that folder.

From there, type strings then a space, then the filename for your library or otool, a space and the filename for library. You should be able to hit TAB to auto-complete filenames.
