No. It can only compile with Xcode 12 which is a beta version.


This is an event. You should call: no.RunMethod("requestIDFA", Null)

No need to store anything. The user will be asked for the authorization once. The OS tracks it.
(There is also nothing to do with the status.)

To give developers time to make necessary changes, apps will be required to obtain permission to track users starting early next year.

These are the changed required to get access to the advertiser identifier in iOS 14:

It requires Xcode 12 and it will only be relevant in a few months from now.

Step 1:

B4X:

#AdditionalLib: AppTrackingTransparency.framework
#PlistExtra: <key>SKAdNetworkItems</key><array><dict><key>SKAdNetworkIdentifier</key><string>cstr6suwn9.skadnetwork</string></dict></array>
#PlistExtra: <key>NSUserTrackingUsageDescription</key>
#PListExtra: <string>This identifier will be used To deliver personalized ads To you.</string>

Step 2: add:

B4X:

#if OBJC
#import <AppTrackingTransparency/AppTrackingTransparency.h>
#import <AdSupport/AdSupport.h>
- (void)requestIDFA {
    if (@available(iOS 14, *)) {
      [ATTrackingManager requestTrackingAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:^(ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatus status) {
          [self.bi raiseUIEvent:nil event:@"gad_trackingauthorization:" params:@[@(status)]];
      }];
  } else {
          [self.bi raiseUIEvent:nil event:@"gad_trackingauthorization:" params:@[@(3)]];
    }
 
}

#End If

Step 3: before loading an ad (required once):

B4X:

Dim no As NativeObject = Me
no.RunMethod("requestIDFA", Null)
Wait For GAD_TrackingAuthorization (Status As Int)

Status = 3 means that the user allowed your app access to the tracking id. Ads will be displayed even if the user denied access. You don't need to do anything with the status value.

I don't think that these two features are related.

Hi,
I have a question about this: if you implement this, is iAdmob.ConsentManager no longer necessary?
Or should it be implemented additionally?
