I’m submitting a new build to the app store but App Store Connect is now telling me that

“Your app contains NSUserTrackingUsageDescription, indicating that you will request permission to track users. To update this information on your app’s product page, you must indicate which data types are tracking users. If this is incorrect, update your app binary and upload a new build to App Store Connect.”

I didn’t add any components. Any idea how to solve this?

Have you removed the default comment in the project settings?

If you are not using any tracking options then you need to remove the default text before building the app.

Same error.

I already removed the value Tracking Usage Description. I also don’t use any WebViewer of AdMob.

Any other ideas?

Apple is very sensitive about this issue and although `Web Viewer` and `AdMob` are the common ones but Apple regards any thing that uses, or might require, **Location Services** as tracking component.

So, does your project contain:

- Push notification?
- Maps?
- BLE?
- Sensors?

Any of the above will trigger the tracking notice of Apple.

My project uses Push Notifications and Location Sensor. I’ve had it for a while and my app is on the App Store since October.

What can I do to be able to submit it to App Store again? Do I need to update anything in the App Store Connect details?

You will need to update your policy and declare the use of both `Push Notification` and `Location Sensors` and what data is being collected and for what reason.

That is all Apple is interested in.

</div>

I’m now able to submit. To address this issue go to `App Store Connect` \> `App Privacy`:

1- under `Data Types` \> `Location` \> I selected `Precise Location` \> `Next` \> `Save`

2-under the gray Location/Precise Location Section (pictured below) press the blue **Edit Button** and tick these 3 selections:

• **Used for App Functionality**

• **Linked to the user’s identity**

• **Used for tracking purposes** this is the last option, you must tick _Yes, we use precise location data for tracking purposes_. This will make the error go away

The error went away.

maptheunknown , I have exactly the same problem :  
Your app contains NSUserTrackingUsageDescription, indicating that you will request permission to track users. To update this information on your app’s product page, you must indicate which data types are tracking users. If this is incorrect, update your app binary and upload a new build to App Store Connect.  
I have contacted the support of Apple ,I haven’t received an answer so far , if I have something new I will keep you posted
