Hello,
when i want to upload an app to the app store they ask me if the app uses encryption.
It is a multiplayer game and I use Photon Pun.
Nothing more.
I answer "Yes"?
if I answer "Yes", they tell me:
"Export laws require that products containing encryption must be properly authorized for export. Failure to comply could result in severe penalties."
Thank you so much !!

No, we didn't look into it. Actually, it is somewhat out of our responsibility to explain Apple's questions and or the regional laws.
Photon offers encryption and will use it for authentication and any other data you enable it for.
So .. the conservative answer would be "yes", I guess.

Hi @janvigs,
Thank you for choosing Photon!
Here is a documentation page about Encryption by default the messages you send (RPCs, RaiseEvent, Serialization, properties, etc.) are not encrypted but you can enable it on demand.0 -
Thank you so much !!
I am a novice. I'm not sure.
Considering that I only use the photon to be able to share a game between two players, I would like to know if I can answer "No" to:
"
Export Compliance Information: Does your app use encryption? "
-Yes
-No
(Select Yes even if your app only uses the standard encryption within Apple’s operating system)
(It is your responsibility to comply with export regulations, and you should revisit these questions if your encryption or exemption status changes. If your encryption and exemption eligibility stay the same, specify this in the target properties table in Xcode.)
(App Uses Non-Exempt Encryption : No
If you are making use of ATS or making a call to HTTPS, you are required to submit a year-end self classification report to the US government. Learn More
Export laws require that products containing encryption must be properly authorized for export. Failure to comply could result in severe penalties.)

At the moment, we don't really have an answer for this. Might be a case for a lawyer (at least on our end).
We described our encryption here:
doc.photonengine.com/en-us/pun/current/reference/encryption
Apple's guides on this topic:
https://help.apple.com/app-store-connect/#/dev88f5c7bf9
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/complying_with_encryption_export_regulations
I'll update this thread, when we know more.
