Overview

According to User Privacy and Data Use - App Store, Apple will start to restrict how App get IDFA from iOS 14. App must receive the authorization of App Tracking from user through App Tracking Transparency framework. The instruction will describe how to implement ATT framework to get user’s permission.

Note: Without the implementation of ATT framework, the IDFA from user will be zeroed out completely and might cause the loss in ad revenue.

Step1. Add Usage Description In The Info.plist

Please add NSUserTrackingUsageDescription in the Info.plist of your project to describe how this permission will be used.

<key>NSUserTrackingUsageDescription</key>
<string>Your data will be used to deliver personalized ads to you.</string>

Note: We recommend that you can add some explanation of the App Tracking permission and data usage to increase user’s willingness to grant the permission. For example, "This identifier will be used to deliver personalized ads to you."

Step2. ATT Framework Implementation

Please refer to the sample below to implement the ATT framework to ask if user allow to be tracked through IDFA.

Objective-C

if (@available(iOS 14, *)) {
        [ATTrackingManager requestTrackingAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:^(ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatus status) {
        }];
    } else {
    }

Swift

if #available(iOS 14, *) {
	ATTrackingManager.requestTrackingAuthorization { _ in
	}
} else {
            // Fallback on earlier versions
}

Note: To prevent the impact on the ad revenue, we recommend that it would be better to ask for the App Tracking authorization before sending the first ad request.
