iOS : App Store Approval Process - Declaration of Use of Encryption

I would like to know more about the encryption declaration in App Store Approval Process.

I have an app that connects to server via HTTP ( not HTTPS ) . Sensitive information is encrypted by public key in App , then send to server by HTTP POST .

In server ( which is written in PHP ) , will decrypt the information using private key , then provide corresponding actions .

For such operation, do I need to declare using encryption in App Store Approval process ? If yes , what information do I need to provide to Apple ?

If your application has some feature that uses the encryption / decryption of the data which transferred through the Web APIs you don't needed to mention that while submitting application.

The reason is encryption / decryption is getting used while data transfers from server to Application.

Important Note :

  • If your application internally using encryption / decryption for some data operations than it should be declared properly while submitting the application
  • By doing not so can leads to application rejection & also if such activities found after approval process than Apple can permenantly remove your application from the store

Hope this helps to everyone.
