[Question]: How do I disable IDFA

Open cainaleaouk opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Hi there,

as the title says, I'd like to disable IDFA collection since our app cannot use it. Is there a way to do something similar to this? https://developers.amplitude.com/docs/disabling-automatic-tracking-of-properties#disabling-tracking-on-ios

Cheers.

Not currently, but you're super welcome to open a PR that adds that functionality. It should be fairly easy.

Same. We have a kid's app and all references to IDFA-related stuff have to be gone.

A much better behaviour would be to use IDFA only if AdSupport.framework is in the project, if not then it should not.

Any update on this?

Amplitude uses IDFV by default and not IDFA. See FAQ here.

Not true. Apple rejections happen due to IDFA reasons. I turned to the JS SDK instead to avoid this problem.

@ilyakar you can try to ask Amplitude's technical support about your problem (e.g. "i don't activate IDFA usage, your SDK disables IDFA by default, but Apple rejects my app anyway").

I just switched to the Amplitude JS sdk and all is fine for me :)

It seems this SDK is referencing to the AdvertisingIdentifier, if not including the AdSupport.framework, and that’s causing problems for people with kids apps.
