hi guys,

i hope you can help me.

i'm trying to upload my iOS app WITHOUT any ads.

I don't know what i should do because it was twice rejected for this reason:


Program License Agreement
Thank you for contacting us.

We have verified that your app contains code that is accessing the Advertising Identifier, however, we did not see ads served in your app. As stated in section 3.3.12 of the iOS Developer Program License Agreement, an app must serve ads in order to use the Advertising Identifier:

“You and Your Applications (and any third party with whom you have contracted to serve advertising) may use the Advertising Identifier, and any information obtained through the use of the Advertising Identifier, only for the purpose of serving advertising. If a user resets the Advertising Identifier, then You agree not to combine, correlate, link or otherwise associate, either directly or indirectly, the prior Advertising Identifier and any derived information with the reset Advertising Identifier.”

We have seen this behavior in apps that include third-party libraries. These libraries are often analytics engines, ad engines, or other types of third-party services.

We require that you locate and remove this code prior to resubmitting, and recommend that you use the "nm" tool or the command line tools "strings" or "otool -ov" to find the following entities:

- class: ASIdentifierManager
- selector: advertisingIdentifier
- framework: AdSupport.framework

If you are unable to locate these entities, you may wish to work with an Apple Developer Technical Support engineer.

If you believe your app is serving ads, please:

- ensure that you have tested your app on a device, not just the simulator, and that you have removed previous versions of your app prior to testing

- provide us the steps to locate ads in your app


Thanks in advance.
