iOS Question AppTrackingTransparency avoid tracking

[angel_]

I have implemented AppTrackingTransparency in the App like this:

Admob - prepare for ios14 warning email?

today i got an email from google that i need to prepare my apps for ios14. actually i am running ios14 beta5 and my apps run fine so what do we need to do now? https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/ios14

www.b4x.com

And when uploading it to the AppStore it rejects it by not avoiding tracking

Guideline 5.1.2 - Legal - Privacy - Data Use and Sharing

We noticed you collect data to track after the user selects "Ask App Not to Track" on the App Tracking Transparency permission request.

Specifically, we noticed your app accesses web content you own and collects cookies for tracking after the user asked you not to track them.

Next Steps

To resolve this issue, please revise your app so that you do not collect data for tracking purposes if the user does not give permission for tracking.

Resources

- Tracking is linking data collected from your app with third-party data for advertising purposes, or sharing the collected data with a data broker. Learn more about tracking.
- See Frequently Asked Questions about then new requirements for apps that track users.

I use:
- iFirebaseAnalytics
- iAdMob

It doesn't sound related to ads. Are you showing any site with WebView?

No, only firebase

I'm not 100% sure that it is related to ads. Are you asking the user for any personal information such as email?

No

I use consent like this:

'....
If rbtPERSONALIZED.Checked Then
        consent.ConsentState = consent.STATE_PERSONALIZED   
    Else If rbtNON_PERSONALIZED.Checked Then
        consent.ConsentState = consent.STATE_NON_PERSONALIZED
    Else If rbtUNKNOWN.Checked Then
        consent.ConsentState = consent.STATE_UNKNOWN
        PaidVersion
    End If
End If
LoadAd

You can make a test and upload an app with ads disabled.

I think the problem is FirebaseAnalytics, Is the use of FirebaseAnalytics compatible with AppTrackingTransparency?

Is the use of FirebaseAnalytics compatible with AppTrackingTransparency?

It should be. There are many store apps with FirebaseAnalytics.

After several tries, finally, I have disabled Firebase and AdMob

An update of an app of mine (Pleroma client) with FirebaseAnalytics was approved yesterday.
