I\'m submitting ios game to app store.

xcode gives me error Improper advertising identifier [IDFA] usage. Your app contains the Advertising Identifier [IDFA] API bu

Answer 1

I was also facing this warning while validating app with iTunes connect and I was using FacebookSDK.framework which was downloaded from Ref Link. In FBUtility.m I have commented below code and removed Adsupport.Frmaework

+ (NSString *)advertiserID {
NSString *advertiserID = nil;
Class ASIdentifierManagerClass = [FBDynamicFrameworkLoader loadClass:@"ASIdentifierManager" withFramework:@"AdSupport"];
if ([ASIdentifierManagerClass class]) {
    ASIdentifierManager *manager = [ASIdentifierManagerClass sharedManager];
    advertiserID = [[manager advertisingIdentifier] UUIDString];
}
return advertiserID;

} to

+ (NSString *)advertiserID {

return @"";

}

and changed another function in same class FBUtility.m

+ (FBAdvertisingTrackingStatus)advertisingTrackingStatus {

if ([FBSettings restrictedTreatment] == FBRestrictedTreatmentYES) {
    return AdvertisingTrackingDisallowed;
}
FBAdvertisingTrackingStatus status = AdvertisingTrackingUnspecified;
Class ASIdentifierManagerClass = [FBDynamicFrameworkLoader loadClass:@"ASIdentifierManager" withFramework:@"AdSupport"];
if ([ASIdentifierManagerClass class]) {
    ASIdentifierManager *manager = [ASIdentifierManagerClass sharedManager];
    if (manager) {
        status = [manager isAdvertisingTrackingEnabled] ? AdvertisingTrackingAllowed : AdvertisingTrackingDisallowed;
    }
}
return status;

}

to

+ (FBAdvertisingTrackingStatus)advertisingTrackingStatus {

FBAdvertisingTrackingStatus status =AdvertisingTrackingUnspecified;
return status;

}

I have removed that FacebookSDK.framework and downloaded Facebook framework from Ref Link . I have resolve this warning by using this way and I have uploaded app successfully.

And also see this stack question Link to avoid rejection, find and remove unwanted framework.
