This question is like two questions in one.

  1. Firstly, did I choose the correct radio button for my case?
  2. Secondly, where do I get the "French encryption declaration approval form"?

QUESTION 1

The following screenshots are from App Store Connect (in the "TestFlight" tab): enter image description here enter image description here
Now here^^ arises my first question.

The main purpose of my app is: language learning app
I myself have not programmed anything related to encryption, and I assume neither have the developers or the packages I'm using (* listed at the end of this question), so I think I can exclude radio-button 1 and 3.

My app uses firebase (backend) services, all of which encrypt data in transit using HTTPS, according to the official docs.

HTTPS IS a standard encryption algorithm, but the way the 2nd radio-button was phrased,

I don't know if I am supposed to choose the 2nd or the 4th radio-button.

QUESTION 2

I haven't tried proceeding with the 4th radio-button (yet).
I have tried with the 2nd radio button, which follows up with the question if my app is going to be available in France. I don't want to miss out on any market so I chose "yes" of course. Then I am lead to the "Encryption" page, where I eventually have to upload a "French encryption declaration approval form".

Now this is the problem. There is absolutely no information in app store connect or any of the apple docs on how to get this "French encryption declaration approval form". I have searched all across the web, and have found other people asking where to get this, but no one seems to have the answer.

In the meantime, I will be trying to contact Apple, Google and the French government, and if I get a useful answer from them, I will share it here.

    Hello Just use 4th Radio button (none of algorithm...) – Shailendra Rajput Jan 19 '23 at 06:26
  • I'll just trust all you guys telling me I can choose the 4th radio button, and want to add that you might have to submit a year-end self-classification report, which this guy explains very well: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62270043/does-using-firebase-auth-login-for-ios-app-meet-export-compliance-information#answer-62628935 – Cedric Jan 20 '23 at 13:43

If you are sure you don't use any encryptiong algorithms, you can add below key to your info.plist file so you don't manually do this everytime :

<key>ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption</key>
<false/>

  • but what qualifies as "using encryption algorithms"? if I am using firebase services which use HTTPS, am I therefore using encryption algorithms or not? – Cedric Jan 19 '23 at 14:14
  • Nope, using HTTPS is not considered encryption algorithm. Check here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/650355 – esentis Jan 19 '23 at 14:36
