Ok so im about to update our game on iOS and get prompted with the text below, the question is how do I know if Gamemaker adds or utilizes The IDFA? we use no adds or third party extension that would use it on our own. So does anyone know what I should answer? thanks! :)


Does this app use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA)?

The Advertising Identifier (IDFA) is a unique ID for each iOS device and is the only way to offer targeted ads. Users can choose to limit ad targeting on their iOS device.

Ensure that you select the correct answer for Advertising Identifier (IDFA) usage. If your app does contain the IDFA and you select No, the binary will be permanently rejected and you will have to submit a different binary.

If you are using ANY third party ad system or user tracking system then you ARE DEFINITELY using IDFA.
If you have created any extensions of your own that specifically use it, then you're using it.

If neither of the above are true and are you are just using the built-in GameMaker stuff, WITHOUT Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) or any other extension, then you can safely say NO.

But is there any way to be 100% sure by checking any settings in xcode or GMS?

Are you using any GMS extensions? If not, your answer is NO.
