IDFA error on 11.0.13

I tried uploading my game this morning and i got the IDFA API error that says I have ads in my game. I don't have ads because I am not a pro user but I know I have the gamesalad one they put on the load screen. All of my past games have this ad but I have never had this issue. Apple wants me to answer a questionnaire regarding the advertising, but I am not sure how to answer it. I believe it has something to do with the new chartboost and RevMob ads that came with v.11. The questions regard privacy with the ads. Any help with how to answer it would be appreciated.

I have had the same problem. Chartboost, RevMob, and Gamesalad Network are checked in the ads section when publishing a game. It won't let me uncheck them and I don't have ads in my app either.
Has anyone figured out whats causing all this?

I had the same problem, my membership was a standard membership and what happened was that when I went to publish my app i the GS publish screens the ads section was already pre-selected and greyed out so effectively I could not deselect the Chartboost and RevMob etc.

Coincidentally I changed my membership to pro and when I did I noticed that now I could uncheck those ad options, I unchecked them and was able to create the .app again - this time when I uploded to apple It went through without a hitch.

This may have happened to my situation because this particular project is one that was started a few years ago before all the coding engines etc were changed so my project may have remnants of old code in it.

Bottom line, when I went to pro it let me uncheck the ad selections and all went through seamlessly :-)

Hope this helps.
