What is the Ad-ID (IDFA) (ASIdentifierManager) for?


I am publishing my first App to Itunes and I get my last question, which I do not know what to do ?

Are you using the Ad-ID (IDFA)? It says that it provides additional class "ASIdentifierManager". What is that for ?

  • I do not want to do advertising in my app itself. ( no ad-banners in my app )
  • But I like probably advertising for my app in future.

Do I need this option ?


Solution

  • Not now as your app is not implementing ads. IDFA stands for “identifier for advertisers.” It’s a random, anonymous number that is assigned to a user and their device, but I have no experience with it so if your app is not using ads at the moment you don't have to check the box of IDFA.
