App uses https - what is the correct value of ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption

Question

The ONLY encryption my App uses is calls over HTTPS. Currently (7 June 2017) iTunes Connect requires an Export Compliance according to this information in iTunes Connect.

Answer 1

I was searching the web for this for some hours. Actually it is pretty easy and you can verify this in itunes connect:

1. All you have to do

If your app uses only HTTPS or uses encryption only for authentication, tokens, etc., there is nothing you have to do, just include

ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption

in your Info.plist and you are done.

2. Verification

You can verify this in itunes connect.

• select your app
• chose features
• chose encryption
• click "+"
• follow the dialog
• for https or authentication the answer is yes and yes

3. Year-end self classification report

As is written in the dialog in 2., you still need to submit a year-end self classification report:

If you are making use of ATS or making a call to HTTPS please note that you are required to submit a year-end self classification report to the US government. Learn more

You can check How do I submit a Self Classification Report for Encryption Items and this SO question https://stackoverflow.com/a/48462458/276648 .

In any case you should of course read yourself carefully through the dialog.
