    Export Encryption algorithms and compliance

    in General questions
    Hi, since I last updated my app to Apple App Store 15 months ago, they have begun to require uploaded "U.S. Commodity Classification Tracking System" approval forms :o (and/or a french form as well if published in France) - if the app uses certain ecryption algorithms:

    Encryption algorithms that are proprietary or not accepted as standard by international standard bodies (IEEE, IETF, ITU, etc.)
    and/or
    Standard encryption algorithms instead of, or in addition to, using or accessing the encryption within Apple's operating system

    I have ticked both encryption boxes at Gideros Export, basically for copyrighted reasons (allthough I'm not sure that is necessary - think iOS apps on the App Store are encrypted anyway).

    I am kind of lost here. Does the Gideros export encryption meet these terms?

      Hard to say, Gideros export encryption (of compiled code or assets) is basically a XOR of the data with a large block of random bytes. Not sure if that falls under a standard, but can it be considered encryption at all ?

      Allright, thanks. It seems binaries are encrypted anyway when packaged and uploaded from Xcode to the App Store. So I might as I well untick the encryption option at gideros export and sidestep those form requirements. B)
