Apple rejects app because of AppTrackingTransparency.framework (can’t find it included in the app)
Guideline 5.1.2 - Legal - Privacy - Data Use and Sharing
The app privacy information you provided in App Store Connect indicates you collect data in order to track the user, including Phone Number, Email Address, and Name. However, you do not use App Tracking Transparency to request the user’s permission before tracking their activity.
Starting with iOS 14.5, apps on the App Store need to receive the user’s permission through the AppTrackingTransparency framework before collecting data used to track them. This requirement protects the privacy of App Store users.
Next Steps
Here are two ways to resolve this issue:
-
If you do not currently track, or decide to stop tracking, update your [app privacy information in App Store Connect]. You must have the [Account Holder or Admin role] to update app privacy information.
-
If you track users, you must [implement App Tracking Transparency and request permission before collecting data used to track. When you resubmit, indicate in the Review Notes where the permission request is located.
