Hello,

Thanks for the details. Since my App is using SQLCipher, Apple has rejected my App to be published in French App Store and have asked me to provide the clearance certificate from French government.

Do I really require that? There is also a discussion going on about this at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sqlcipher/nNKCPwHjDLs

Please let me know do i really need that certificate from Apple.

Regards
Sunny

Hello @hkumar

Unfortunately we can not provide much additional guidance with regard to app store submissions in the French marketplace as we do not sell our products there at this time. There is another thread on our mailing list in which another user has successfully completed the French approval process for export compliance. You may wish to review it here.

Thanks a lot. I’ll go with that.

Dear @hkumar ,

please can I ask you, did you have SQLCipher compiled with using external openssl or it used only iOS CommonCrypto?

please if somebody knows, if SQLCipher needs ERN number and French encryption as well, let me know.

regards
tomas

@developernotes, So, does it “use encryption limited to that within the Apple operating system” or not? Because we have to answer this question in iTunes Connect.

@revolter - SQLCipher’s encryption is above and beyond that provided by the Apple operating system.
