While iOS developers submit their new apps in itunes connect, Apple every time asks if developer included some encryptions in apps.

Why Apple pays so important attention for that?

Addition: If I include Security.framework to my app, should I check checkbox on on question: if I added encrypted content to my app?

  • As for Security.framework - probably yes, but I couldn't verify this. – user1071136 Aug 24 '12 at 09:12

Probably has to do with US export restrictions.

I found this SO Q&A which points to this blog which details how to obtain permission.

It's to comply with US laws for exporting encryption products. You cannot ship products with strong encryption to some countries, such as Iran, Libya and others. Although... this isn't really a programming question.
